Ah, cool, thanks for validating our approach. We have so far been
slowly figuring it out and it has been nice.

Ah, yes, that is the trick, to get it out quickly. Usually it is not a
problem, but in ~2-3 months of using git, it's happened on high-churn
branches about 4-5 times (usually it is the next release candidate
branch where people are actively making small bug fixes and one guy
gets caught with a non-trivial merge in from stable).

Not all that bad, really, other than it caused a few "wtf git"
comments. Which is unfortunate as, while I enjoy git, the team as a
whole is still learning. Seeing the DAGs, and understanding the
patch/apply approach of the non-interactive rebase, it makes sense to
me what git is doing. And so while I know to watch for it, I'm trying to
find a more bullet proof approach.

That's very cool, thanks. I'll start writing a test now.
