Thanks for taking care of this! Maybe John or I can finally get the
changes to rebase done after this.

A few comments below. Sorry I didn't find time to review the earlier revisions.

Should free_commit_list also be called in the two "return 1" cases
above? I suppose the process will exit soon after this, but that seems
to be true for all three cases.

I think this creates a history like

---E---B1--B2--B3--B4--B5 (base)
        \   \   \   \   \
         D1  D2  D3  D4  D5 (derived)

So I think the following test would pass even if you drop the
--fork-point. Did you mean to create a fan-shaped history by resetting
base to $E on every iteration above?
+                       git merge-base --fork-point base $(cat derived$count) >actual &&
+                       test_cmp expect$count actual || exit 1
