Ditto! I suspect that using a combination of « git history squash » and « git replay » to emulate « git rebase » in non-interactive autosquash mode will be much faster, too, due to the differences in implementation. If that proves to be the case and we can safely do so with feature compatibility, I wonder if it will be worth making the non-interactive autosquash rebase actually delegate through a history squash + replay.
I’m sure there’s a few instances that couldn’t be done (for example when the special! commits cross the current range and upstream; that is, a fixup! for an upstream commit or some such oddity;; there are also conflicts to consider), but in the cases it can be it ought to be a performance win.
