I figured as much. I stumbled onto a version of git-absorb [1] today,
and I have some notes on how I might script such a thing myself using
my "git-touching" [2] script. But my script has a slight bug [3] when
handling staged changes that might make it not quite ready for the
attempt yet. Anyway, some food for thought.

[2]: https://github.com/benknoble/Dotfiles/blob/master/links/bin/git-touching
[3]: From my todo list: git: `touching -c` only considers staged
files, not staged lines. So mixed files give the wrong outputs.
