Which urgency? The cover letter spells it out quite clearly that this is
not even intended for v2.25.0, which is still over 2 months out.
The reason I submitted this patch series now is so that we can avoid
inadvertent new users of the `--preserve-merges` backend.

The LTS distros will not even pick up this patch. So that's a red herring.
But yes, you're right, v2.25.0 will probably be the first version to even
have the `--rebase-merges` option in `git svn`, and therefore v2.26.0
would be awfully early a time to drop `--preserve-merges` in `git svn`.
Question is whether we want to split this patch series, or just rather
wait with merging it to `master` until a year from now, or something like
that?
Ciao,
Dscho
