Okay, so can I start writing a series that will make git rebase accept
one negative commit (N) and one positive commit (P) in any order?  A
git rebase N..P should rebase the DAG defined by P ^N onto $(git
merge-base N P).  Does that make sense?

(two positive commits are a special case for backward compatibility?)
