While we're at it, could we change the name so that it is .git/rebase, and
not .dotest or .git/.dotest-merge?
Yes, I know, existing tools could rely on the location. But then, I do
not think that tools should be allowed to be _that_ married to particular
implementations. And indeed, I see no reason why a tool should access
.dotest, except for accessing .dotest/patch, and then it will be very
obvious where it fails.
But I don't know about QGit, StGit, etc...
Ciao,
