No, it is totally different. To understand why it is useful to use
rebase in this context, you should not think about the tool at all, but
about the actual content of the things you are submitting for review.
The comparison is to be done with bzr looms/hg queues. Rebase acts as a
simple (but good enough) patch queue manager from a UI POV - it has the
same drawbacks than queues (and looms ?) once you want to publish things.
