Certainly. And it probably is a good testbed for testing the rebasing routines as well.

But couldn't (in theory) the new "rebased" versions of blobs in the "pu" branch be first committed as the old not yet rebased version and then as the new version. Not the fact that the blobs in "pu" are constantly based on the latest master was the problem if I recollect, but the fact that blobs sometimes disappeared. In comparing this with Linus' recent explanation how git-bisect works in terms of light cones this might be understood as the inherent problems with tachyons I think...

Anyway this is now solved I understand. Thanks.

Ok, thanks very much for explaining.
