Let me ask to make sure I am understanding you correctly. Are you
referring to "split history" as the case where the commit graph has *two*
root commits?

If so: when you perform a merge-preserving rebase, then those two root
commits will be recreated as new root commits, by design.

The non-merge-preserving mode cannot create two root commits, as it does
not allow for introducing merge commits (and you'd need that to combine
the two strands).

It is quite possible that I misunderstand completely, though. Care to
enlighten me?

Ciao,
Dscho
