Unlike the cover letter's claim of deprecated since v2.22, this in particular has only been deprecated since v2.25, i.e. your follow-up ea8b7be1476 (git svn: stop using `rebase --preserve-merges`, 2019-11-22).

I think it's fine to do this, but at least updating the commit message to note the difference would be good.
