DavidN's solution to abort the rebase is great as long as you don't have any unstaged changes since the last rebase going south!

If you wrote code after the rebase attempt, ignoring the could not open file .git/rebase-merge/done message,

then your best bet is to do

git stash

to save your local changes and only then abort the rebase.

I am sure this is one of those stackoverflow questions, where people who are eager to solve their problem without considering the implications, will just run the abort command and regret it soon after.
