If we don't set rebase.useBuiltin to false, then there is also a minor regression in the error message printed by the built-in rebase we may want to try to address. I have a patch for it at <20181122044841.20993-2-newren@gmail.com>, but I don't know if that patch is acceptable as-is this close to a release since that'd not give translators much time to update.
