Now, to my question. Is there an easy way to run interactive rebase on the upstream branch with this recipe? The best we have come up with so far is

  git checkout master # the upstream branch
  git rebase -i HEAD~

and then just append everything from the generated recipe.
Instead of rebasing to "HEAD~", you should be able to do:
    git rebase -i HEAD
The default recipe should then just be "noop", and you can replace the whole default recipe with your recipe. This should also work even if the last commit was a merge.

Instead of appending your own recipe, you could also abuse the EDITOR environment variable. Say your recipe is stored in a file called "my_recipe". Then, you could do this:
    env EDITOR="cp my_recipe" git rebase -i HEAD

But this could potentially be dangerous because if "rebase" fires up a editor for any other reason (e.g. having a "reword" or "squash" in your recipe), then the commit message will be messed up. So you need to make sure your recipe won't trigger any editor except for the recipe.
