Follow-up... this is already becoming a PITA.
I am going through and rebasing multiple repos in the same repository... and it keeps running 'git gc' on each branch! grrrr.
Step 1: pull "../linux-2.6" into master branch of local repo. this repo was created with "--reference". It _might_ be reasonable to expect 'git gc' to be run:

Step 2: In the same repo, rebase a branch (contains a single changeset), immediately following step #1:

Step 3: Ditto, a second rebase in the same repo, immediately following step #2:

Step 4: Ditto, a third rebase in the same repo, immediately following step #3:
