With `format.useAutoBase = true`, running rebase resulted in an

        fatal: failed to get upstream, if you want to record base commit automatically,
        please use git branch --set-upstream-to to track a remote branch.
        Or you could specify base commit by --base=<base-commit-id> manually
        error:
        git encountered an error while preparing the patches to replay
        these revisions:

        As a result, git cannot rebase them.

Fix this by always passing `--no-base` to format-patch from rebase so
that the effect of `format.useAutoBase` is negated.
