Thanks for reporting the breakage, Christian. Apparently, this use case has been broken for a long time... Since bb52995f3e (format-patch: introduce format.useAutoBase configuration, 2016-04-26). I'm surprised it's only been reported now. This patchset fixes the breakage by teaching `git format-patch --no-base` and making rebase use it.
