Indeed, that message shouldn't have appeared twice.

I'm not a Git expert, but I did mess things up seriously a couple
times.  My humble experience tells me that in such situations Git
would react much more nervously that just repeating a message.  So, I
have three possible interpretations:

* copy-and-paste mistake, disregardable,

* Git works slightly differently on Comer's laptop, disregardable,

* Git itself is severely broken, which seems unlikely, judging by the
  output we have been shown.

Neither of these provides an explanation, but they help me rest
relatively calm :-)

No, the editor window appeared because I specified the -i option to
git-rebase, which triggered the interactive mode and made Git ask for
an explicit list of commits, which Comer has accepted.

a conflict; I can only see the list of files with conflict in git
status.
