I'd like there to be some *big*warning* about how this destroys history 
and how you must not do this if you expose your history anywhere else.

I think it's a perfectly fine history, but if you have already pushed out 
your history somewhere else, you're now really screwed. In ways that a 
*real* merge will never screw you.

So the "--rebase" option really is only good for the lowest-level 
developers. And that should be documented.
