It would be much better to avoid getting into a problematic
situation in the first place than having to come up with a
workaround for such a situation.

"git imerge" may be a good tool to know about for that.  You may be
able to avoid having to say: "Gaahh, I am not patient enough to
rebase this series of commits, even though I spent time to carefully
separate into logical and independent steps.  I'll squash them all
into one large blob of changes, even though it means I will lose all
that work."

An "interdiff" that compares the base and the tip of the old and the
new iterations is certainly a way to compare the changes as a whole,
in exchange for loss of the diff between the log messages and other
commit metadata.  Adding such a mode to the "range-diff" command
might not be a bad idea.
