FWIW, nowadays gitlab keeps track of every push, including rebases, to a single merge request. It even adds a "compare to previous version", where you can see the diff between the latest, maybe rebased, version of the branch, and the previous one. It _used_ to be the case that rebasing and force-pushing to the branch referenced by a merge request would make you lose the history, but that hasn't been true for a while.
