No.
If at all, it should be in .git/rebase/, not in .git-dotest/. Note that
we have a different directory already for interactive rebase and rebase
-m, .git/.dotest-merge/ (which could have been a better name, too).
But the consensus was that there might be scripts relying on the name of
the directory, so we left it as-is, and did not even consolidate both
versions into the same name.
So _if_ you still want to change it, you need a looooong-term switch-over
plan. For one, you _have_ to install a symbolic link in order not to
break existing scripts, and remove it afterwards.
Ciao,
Dscho
