Of course it's also a problem if one is rebasing onto a commit that is 
newer than the commits that are being rebased. That makes it more of a 
concern, though the option has existed since 2009 and I don't recall 
anyone complaining about the effects of using it. We should certainly 
spell out the potential problems in the documentation.

Best Wishes
