[PATCH 1/2] rebase: add a --rebase-merges=drop option

From: Alex Henrie <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-20 03:33:05
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Name the new option "drop" intead of "no" or "false" to avoid confusion
in the future if --rebase-merges grows the ability to truly "rebase"
merge commits by reusing the conflict resolution information from the
original merge commit, and we want to add an option to ignore the
conflict resolution information.

This option can be used to countermand a previous --rebase-merges
option.

 	By default, a rebase will simply drop merge commits from the todo
 	list, and put the rebased commits into a single, linear branch.
