Re: Patch (apply) vs. Pull

I think that it's important to avoid having the array of "rebased the

True. I will remove that. Any commit will have the new base of the
patch as a parent.

If you want to keep the history of a patch, you should be able to do it by
rebasing that history as well as the latest patch, so you'd get a
two-parent commit with two rebased parents when you rebased a two-parent
commit.

I can have two commits, one of them accessible via HEAD and the other
stored somewhere under .git/patches. The latter is just a normal
commit where the parent is the current HEAD. This will not be
generated when the patch is re-based, but only when a patch is
modified.
