Nice indeed---I forgot to say more-or-less there, though ;-)

It is quite an achievement to make it practical to rebuild the
maint..pu chain, which would involve 1000+ commits, while allowing
to edit only a fraction of them.

That's OK.  One step at a time ;-)

Another thing I noticed was that we may want to attempt to recreate
an evil merge and then stop to ask confirmation.  The "rebase -ri" I
did to sanity-check my revert for example failed to bring in the
change made in the existing evil merge when trying to recreate the
merge of the dl/merge-autostash topic into master..pu chain and
silently created a fails-to-build-from-the-source tree instead.
