Probably would not work.  staging is rebased comparatively frequently
and Savannah does not allow for non-forwarding pushes (what I actually
did whenever a non-forwarding push became necessary because of a
problematic commit was _delete_ the branch and recreate a new one with
the same name).

I think it was just seen as an opportunity for cleanup.
