In 427c3bd28ab (rebase: deprecate --preserve-merges, 2019-03-11) (which was
included in v2.22.0), we officially deprecated the --preserve-merges
backend. Over two years later, it is time to drop that backend, and here is
a patch series that does just that.
A good goal. There is no remaining use case where (a fictitious and
properly working version of) "--preserve-merges" option cannot be
replaced by "--rebase-merges", is it? I somehow had a feeling that
the other Johannes (sorry if it weren't you, j6t) had cases that the
former worked better, but perhaps I am mis-remembering things.
Thanks.
