As of 4557f1a (rebase--helper: add a builtin helper for interactive rebases, 2017-02-09), continuing an interactive rebase uses the builtin sequencer, which spawns `git commit`. The child may trigger auto-maintenance, which may need to replace files for which the sequencer still holds resources. See #6315: on Windows, this produces unlink retry prompts that cannot succeed while the sequencer waits for the child. Resources such as file handles or memory mappings must be released before spawning a command that may run auto-maintenance, as established by 28d04e1 (run-command: offer to close the object store before running, 2021-09-09). Release the sequencer's ODB before spawning `git commit`. The regression test uses the legacy-delete trick introduced by 69ed0e3 (mingw: optionally use legacy (non-POSIX) delete semantics, 2026-05-07) to trigger the failure on modern Windows.
