Isn't having to say "--skip" instead of "--continue" enough?  Some people 
might complain that it's too easy to get your fingers wired to type 
--skip.

In that case, I might beg to differ for two reasons: --skip is definitely 
not the default operation, so the fingers do not get any chance to do 
that, and even if, they would get wired to --force --skip just as easily.

Besides, after my patch to rebase on a detached HEAD, it is very easy to 
go back to the original state and try again.

Ciao,
