The fixup came from a real-world corner case. I actually do fairly
esoteric varieties of rebases all the time, starting with my HEAD
detached, rebasing --onto a non-branch, explicitly stating where the
bottom is, etc, etc.
Although I am comfortable enough with the patch itself to queue it in
'next' for my daily use, I do not intend it for 1.5.5 at all. The merge
window is a discipline, a line must be drawn somewhere, and when the line
is drawn, it must be honoured.
