As for use cases, I didn't consider that much more than that it might
be useful for implementing "git rebase --root". I haven't implemented
that yet, so I can't say for sure that it will work out.

One use case might be to rewrite history by creating an new unborn
branch and picking the initial commit and a subset of other commits.
Anyway, I didn't implement it because I thought it would be very
useful, but mostly because I just thought it should work (for
completeness).

I agree that it would be nice if it worked.
