It is the problem that bb3f458 fixes.  The change in behaviour is
actually introduced by ad8261d (rebase: use reflog to find common base
with upstream).

In your example, I think this is working as designed.  You can restore
the previous behaviour either with `git rebase --no-fork-point` or with
`git rebase @{u}`.

The change is designed to help users recover from an upstream rebase, as
described in the "DISCUSSION ON FORK-POINT MODE" section of
git-merge-base(1) and makes `git rebase` match the behaviour of
`git pull --rebase` so that:

	git fetch &&
	git rebase

really is equivalent to:

	git pull --rebase
