Holy shit! I never took the time to read about it rerere. But it all makes sense now.

However, it's still a lot of extra steps for what could otherwise be really simple with a regular merge.

Is there really a big advantage in using rebase vs merge other than trying to keep a single line of progress in the history? It's it really worth all the hassle? Especially if you're using a squash merge in a pull request...
