Re: [RFC] Replace rebase with filtering

Usually, however, this results in a conflict which you have to resolve. 
And _you_ do not have a hard time verifying that the patch already went 
in, and you just say "git rebase --skip" and the rebasing will continue 
_without_ having committed the now obsolete patch.

Unfortunately, at least with git 1.4.4.x, not quite. You have to have
index clean to do "git rebase --skip", while usually there would be
conflict when applying patch that is already present some deeper.

I think that is a bug in git-rebase.
