Teach git-rebase a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase the
entire history leading up to <branch>.
The main use-case is with git-svn: suppose you start hacking (perhaps
offline) on a new project, but later notice you want to commit this
work to SVN. You will have to rebase the entire history, including
the root commit, on a (possibly empty) commit coming from git-svn, to
establish a history connection. This previously had to be done by
cherry-picking the root commit manually.
