Aborting a rebase doesn't work

I wanted to do an abort on an interactive rebase by doing git rebase --abort, but I am getting the error:

fatal: Could not parse object '7af12fc7e6ea2bb5231abe39c59cec9539f9536f'.

I've tried resetting the head and it didn't help. Any idea?

You can abort a rebase using this method, too. Replace <branch> with whatever branch you happen to be rebasing:

cd .git
rm -rf rebase-merge
cd ..
git checkout <branch>

I.e, enter the .git directory, remove the rebase directory, go back to the repository (which is now in a detached HEAD state) and checkout the branch (which moves HEAD to the branch tip).
