(2) Treat "rebase" as a way to reproduce history faithfully, even an unreasonable one. We could teach "--allow-empty" to "am", and rewrite the pipeline as "format-patch --always | am --allow-empty" to implement it.
Wouldn't we then have to keep adding options for other corner cases? Perhaps a '--plumbing' flag that makes format-patch behave sanely (e.g., also do stuff like, turn off color and whatnot) and that makes 'git am' accept everything it knows how to understand? -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
