I was looking around this area tonight (I promised I won't touch the
definition of scissors, but I never said I won't work on making it
usable), as I originally shared the same worry with you.

It turns out that "rebase" invokes "am" with the "--rebasing" option.
Under this option, "am" uses an equivalent of "commit -C $commit"
internally to port the message forward.  So our worries are unfounded.
