Thanks for trying that - at least we know it isn't a problem with 
rebase. Lets check if there is a stale bisect (sorry I forgot about that 
earlier). What do

     cat .git/BISECT_START
     ls .git | grep -i bisect

show?

In that case can you check that

     ls .git/worktrees

fails because the directory is missing or shows an empty directory please.

Thanks
