Heh, people often suggested that rebase should get --merge as
default, and I resisted that.

I think it would make sense to do the consolidated backend for
rebase, revert, cherry-pick and am (I have been tentatively
calling this "git replay") primarily based on the "patch with
fallback to 3-way" like format-patch piped to "am -3", with an
option to do merge-recursive.
