Unable to reset while stopped on Edit in interactive rebase

Bug description

Use case: User needs to be able to modify a previous commit using interactive rebase, add new changed files to the commit change set, add additional changes to the files already present in the commit change set, or split one commit into multiple commits, etc.

To support this use case one should be able to issue command git reset HEAD~ while stopped on Edit in interactive rebase to un-stage commit's changes.

Actual behavior

An attempt to bring up the reset dialog (Team/Reset...) while stopped on "Edit" in interactive rebase results in an error message:

Cannot reset HEAD now
Repository state: Interactive rebase

A secondary issue is that once reset is done outside of Eclipse the Git Staging view becomes confused, it initially shows correct Unstaged Changes but an attempt to stage them sometimes does nothing and the UI state gets out of sync with the actual git state as reported by git status.

Expected behavior

It should be possible to issue a reset command when stopped on Edit during interactive rebase within the IDE and the staging view should be in sync with the actual git state if reset is performed externally.
