Thought about this ctags case a bit more.  In contrast to the
deployment cases you brought up (which appear to be protected by a
branch check anyway), doesn't this one argue more that post-commit
should be run for all rebase types?  Sure, it'd take more computation
time, but if a user runs "git pull --rebase" and then is frustrated
that all their tags are extremely out of date then they may be kind of
frustrated.

Of course, arguing against myself, we could always tell them to just
implement a post-rewrite hook.

So...cherry-picking commits will pad your timesheet with duplicate
work on the same topic (because cherry-pick calls sequencer which
calls "git commit"), and so will interactive-based rebases, but
rebase-am (the default rebase in the past) wouldn't.  Fun indeed...

Wouldn't such users view removing the post-commit hook from sequencer
as "harmful to their productivity"?  And shouldn't we add the
post-commit hook to rebase-am in order to "increase their
productivity"?  ;-)

No, these were great examples; thanks for pointing them out.  My
commentary about the timesheet is the only thing that is noise here.
