Thanks for updating the commit message and for the new commits at the 
end of the series.

I'm a bit confused by this. --keep-base works with either 
--reapply-cherry-picks (which is the default if --keep-base is given) or 
--no-reapply-cherry-picks. Just below this hunk we have

	if (options.reapply_cherry_picks < 0)
		options.reapply_cherry_picks = keep_base;

So we only set options.reapply_cherry_picks to match keep_base if the 
user did not specify -[-no]-reapply-cherry-picks on the commandline.

Best Wishes
