Hi Stefan,

Heh, I don't think that anybody did that before, because the rebase has
not even quite started yet...

The cop-out would be to write an empty 'done' file before editing the
todo, but it would give the wrong impression that it is safe to run `git
rebase --continue` now... Interactive rebase is *definitely* not
thread-safe ;-)

So the proper fix might be to test for the presence of the "done" file and
otherwise tell the user that this rebase has not even started yet.

Ciao,
Dscho
