Doesn't `git am` print a warning about how it's reading from stdin?
Pressing C-d at this point to send EOF just exits "normally."

Yes, this is odd: my shell prompt (using the contrib script) says
"AM/REBASE", so I know better: git am --abort does the trick.

This seems like a failure of git-status more than anything; I wonder
if there's some difference in how the prompt script checks for
in-progress am vs. how git-status does it?
