It is a simple matter of the word "acyclic" in the term "DAG".  It means 
that whenever you need to refer to a commit, it either comes before or 
after the commit you need it for, not both directions.

I fell in the same "acyclic" fallacy before I realized it was a mistake, 
especially after thought about the "rewritten B needs to be used more 
than twice as a merge source" issue.  That's why I earlier said the 
beauty of your approach is attractive but it "unfortunately" breaks 
down.

I do not understand.  The topological order assures that you have 
rewritten every commit that needs to be rewritten before rewriting the 
current commit.

Puzzled,
