One of the reasons why I use git-diff and git-commit and in particular
"git-rebase --interactive master" very often is that it allows my
shell's bang completion to work. (i.e., "!git-rebase"). If we tell
people they can not use "git-rebase", and must instead use "git
rebase" instead, I would consider that pretty annoying/obnoxious.
