According to Junio's calendar we're now 2 days from 2.20-rc0. We have
the js/rebase-autostash-detach-fix bug I reported sitting in "pu" still,
and then this.
I see we still have rebase.useBuiltin in the code as an escape hatch,
but it's undocumented.
Given that we're still finding regressions bugs in the rebase-in-C
version should we be considering reverting 5541bd5b8f ("rebase: default
to using the builtin rebase", 2018-08-08)?
I love the feature, but fear that the current list of known regressions
serve as a canary for a larger list which we'd discover if we held off
for another major release (and would re-enable rebase.useBuiltin=true in
master right after 2.20 is out the door).
But maybe I'm being overly paranoid. What do those more familiar with
this think?
