One frustrating aspect of branch.<name>.rebase is that AFAIK
there's no way for it to preserve merges.

I would much prefer if branch.<name>.rebase was allowed to
specify the arguments to be passed to rebase:

	git config branch.mybranch.rebase "-i --preserve-merges"

Anyone else see the value of something like this?
