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. - Ted
