Make "git rebase --skip" skip patches regardless of tree and index 
state,
but still refuse to *start* with dirty tree or index. That way, there's
no risk of losing anything that can't be re-created unless the user asks
for it.
    

Sounds like a plan.
  

I'm unclear how that helps the usability issue here at all, though it 
doesn't sound like an unreasonable change on its own merit.

Because 'git commit --skip' will not require the user to first edit the
tree so the index matches the upstream thing, and he doesn't have to
manually run 'git reset --hard' before --skip'ing.

It's a small improvement, but one that goes in the right direction.

Btw, the above sentence should've read "but still refuse to *start*
(as in, start a brand new rebase) with dirty tree or index"
