By the way, this doesn't always work. The kill-gettext branch, for instance, has master merged in a few times to fix merge conflicts. Now, rebasing onto the merge-base does do no good.

Yes, in that case, it would seem merging into master makes the most sense.

    # Now rebase against master
    git rebase master


You could just as well had rebased to master in the previous step (avoiding the problem I stated above).

It's somewhat easier, for me, at least, to handle these two steps separately: (i) Deal with cleaning up the history locally; (ii) Rebase (or merge), and fix the conflicts. Mixing the two tasks gets confusing.
