Re: rebase -i: learn to rebase root commit

use/interpretation of -p --root that I'm missing?  Or should it just

If --root is about replaying all the history, wouldn't people want to use
it together with -p to reconstruct the whole history as a substitute for
filter-branch?  IOW, I have a suspicion that they most likely should go
together.

I never felt a need to rebase deep down to --root myself anyway, so I am a
bad judge for people's needs on this topic, though.
