I was indeed focused on simply getting the multiple rebase backends to

those are more consistent (though there's still work to be done on
that end too), cherry-pick and rebase really ought to share a lot more
between each other, from command line flags, to temporary control
files written, to more shared code paths.  Adding an --empty flag to
cherry-pick as a step along the way makes sense.

I appreciate the insight from both of you.

It sounds like I'll be diving into some C code for the first time in
over a decade, then! I'll plan to take a crack at this soon.
