Thanks for the pointer, Peter!  That's a long thread with a lot of
dense information.  I'm going to read (and try to understand :),
but I guess it will take a couple of days...

At the time I read the tutorials/howtos/whatever, I thought I understand
what "rebase" actually means.  But now I get pretty much confused, since
there are "git rebase", "git pull --rebase" and "git svn rebase" involved,
and they all seem to do very different things.
