Yes. But because it did not work like that, it was not documented and it
was only accepted by interactive rebase, I thought it was best to just
remove it.

However, I do understand Matthieu's point about having a '--whatever'
option for every '--no-whatever' option. So, if that is the general
opinion, I wouldn't mind adding the flag to non-interactive rebase as
well. As long as it is consistent, it would simplify things for the user
(and, which is more important to me right now :-), for me while
refactoring this code.)
