The problem is that StGit's metadata gets out of date when you do a
git rebase. A solution would either have to change StGit's metadata
representation so that it can't get out of date, or be a fancy version
of repair/uncommit that can actually figure out what git did.

I've thought a bit about this in the past, and the best solution I
could come up with is of the first kind, and would change the
representation of applied patches to use just two refs: the branch
itself, and the stack base ref. I think git rebase wouldn't wreck
things for that representation.

This kind of change is a lot of work, though, more than I have time
for at the moment. And it's not like I have the details worked out or
anything... Making stg repair more intelligent would be a lot less
involved.
