That, or just a command sequence whereby one could construct such a repository 
locally.

I *think* I see what you’re trying to accomplish here, Mr. Goth, but I’m not 
quite sure it’s the same thing as Git rebase.  For one thing, doesn’t it leave 
a branch and all of its checkin history behind?  I thought its most famous use 
was to collapse a branch’s entire change sequence down to a single patch.

Incidentally, as one who ran an active open source project, I always hated 
receiving big-ball-of-hackage patches that changed several essentially 
unrelated things.  I really don’t understand the charm in receiving a single 
flattened patch.  Fossil bundles are a much better idea.  I *want* to see the 
full checkin history.
