Yes, you are right that am --rebasing is a no-op. That option was a little mystery to me, because it seemed to do nothing special, but I'll check again (bash-completion etc) and do appropriate changes.

Yes, I made the mistake that I started developing on "next" and I did not expect that js/rebase-i-sequencer could be dropped. (I somehow expected the opposite, that it would be migrated to master some day.)

Then I wanted to make it work on master, and thought this is simply done by removing the "additional features" (-f and -p option using extended todo list), but then I noticed that master also has a -p which works entirely different and I wanted to see that stuff on the list before July 1st and I had no idea what the status of js/rebase-i-sequencer is. So I just tried and sent that last patch to the list in that way.

But now I have a clear statement.

So I'm going to send a new patchset (also with an EXAMPLES section in the docs) to the list in a few days.

Big thanks for the feedback,
  Stephan
