I think rebasing changes on top of pu is counterproductive. I believe that Junio had extra work rebasing your earlier series onto a merge of the minimum number of topics that it really depended on. There is no way that he could merge the branch in this form because it would imply merging all of pu.

See the zeroth section of SubmittingPatches [1] for the guidelines.

That sounds like a good idea. It's always a relief to get work merged and not have to keep porting it along.

There are three patches later in the series that (I think) also don't have specifically to do with pluggable backends. These could potentially also be considered for earlier merge to reduce the size of what remains:

* refs: don't dereference on rename
* refs: on symref reflog expire, lock symref not referrent
* refs: resolve symbolic refs first

But note that I haven't audited those patches yet, so I'm not saying that they are necessarily ready to be merged.
