My development toolchain is stgit, where rebasing is butt-
simple.

I'm not smart enough to make all that work out, and merges
make my head hurt. That's why I let you and Linus handle it,
and then never rebase once my PRs are merged into
torvalds/linux.git.

I'm open to learning more, but I might resist making my dev
workflow more complicated.
