Fixing rebase rather than avoiding it (was: Dulwich on Launchpad)

I disagree.  I'd say it's another reason why we should fix rebase (and
support it right instead).

Rebase should not destroy history: it should only alter history by
adding more arcs (and nodes) into the DAG, basically providing an
alternate history.  I understand that adding a parent is not something
that Bzr supports right now, but that doesn't change anything to the
fact that it would be the right thing to do.
