It had a good run, but its design was irreparably limited. So I came up with a redesign:--rebase-merges. It seems to work all right, so now it is time to start letting go of the previous design.
Changes since v1: * The term --rebase-merges is now marked as such in the deprecation notice in git rebase's manual. * The deprecation warning is now printed only in builtin/rebase.c, not repeated in git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh.
