Since this is a bug, all active branches (that it applies to - not
sure if this option exists in all branches).

Rebasing replays your work on top of the current head of branch.
There's been a lot of debate, but it seems the team prefer rebasing to
merging because merging makes diffing/binary chopping harder.

We should write this up somewhere, because rebase + merge also makes
sense when you're importing someone else's patches (otherwise you tend
to lose who did the import).
