We already passed the `--rebase-merges` option to `git rebase` instead,
now we make this move permanent.
Unlike the cover letter's claim of deprecated since v2.22, this in
particular has only been deprecated since v2.25, i.e. your follow-up
ea8b7be1476 (git svn: stop using `rebase --preserve-merges`,
2019-11-22).
I think it's fine to do this, but at least updating the commit message
to note the difference would be good.
