while I tend to agree that sending emails about commits to user branches
is not a good idea, I also believe that you should (almost?) never
rebase a public branch.  Certainly not if you expect anyone else to
fetch it or - god forbid - base some of their commits on it, as opposed
to just reading it through the web interface.  I'd suggest appending a
date to the namer of the branch and thus always publish a new branch,
making it clear that its history is different.
