The man page for git rebase mentions "--preserve-merges" command line option but this option does not seems to be available. Also if this option is specified, the following usage statement is printed: Usage: git rebase [--interactive | -i] [-v] [--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>] And this usage statement does not mention -m and -s options that seems to be available. I assume that the problem is the obsolete documentation.
