Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: git-core

I'm trying to slim down a repo with some ancient commits by doing an
interactive rebase from the first commit. I tried marking even just a
single commit (the second one in the list) as "fixup", but just got the
following output:

$ git rebase -i db35c57b45484d284abd21b1b4333d6e0b468f85
error: Untracked working tree file 'jEdit/jars/ErrorList.jar' would be 
overwritten by merge.
shift: 1: can't shift that many

The file in question wasn't even tracked until a later commit, and I
don't really know what to do with the resulting intermediate stage.
`__git_ps1` returns "(master|REBASE-i)".
