Ever since bb52995f3e (format-patch: introduce format.useAutoBase configuration, 2016-04-26), `git rebase` has been broken when `format.useAutoBase = true`. Demonstrate that failure here.
What specifically does "broken" mean here?

Having read both the commit message and the test itself, I'm not wiser about what is actually "broken" or what this is demonstrating.
