Hi,
We have a huge repository ~10 GB. After some integrations the following happens:
> git rebase master

First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed (tried to allocate 55012353 bytes)

There is a workaround to use 'git rebase --merge' instead. But I couldn't find a way to make the merge-based rebase the default one. Is it possible? git version 1.7.10.msysgit.1
