Superseding does not work in git trees and is a disruptive operation to
*all* commits following the point being superseded.
Also, superseding preserves the startpoint, but *always* alters the
endpoint.

I suggest you take a look at how a git-repository is stored and learn
about how the SHA1-hashes interact with the stored repository.
