Please correct me if I missed something. At the moment (786a89d),
pick_one_preserving_merges will not and cannot return with a non-zero
exit code because it doesn't explicitly return and all possibly failing
last statements are guarded with a ... || die "...". Since this can only
be established by carefully looking at the code, I will change the reuse
of extra_args.
Now that we're at it, what I didn't understand when creating this patch
was why the code doesn't explicitly say "one or the other" in the first
place:

At least that is how I interpreted it. After all, if
pick_one_preserving_merges failed to recreate a merge commit, wouldn't
it be a bug to record the changes in a single-parent commit?
Johannes, I cc'd you this email since you're the author of f09c9b8 -
"Teach rebase -i about --preserve-merges". I hope you don't resent me
digging out this seven-year-old patch.
