Re: [RFC PATCH 0/1] rebase --onto detection of already applied commits

Cristian Ciocaltea [off-list ref] writes:

Currently '--onto' works as if the user provided the
'--reapply-cherry-picks' flag, so maybe a possible improvement of this
patch could be to handle '--no-reapply-cherry-picks' to explicitly
enable the detection.

That sounds like a workable approach that breaks no existing users.
