But, won't those commits get linearized?  Won't git rebase pick the 
commits into the left-hand side of the merge instead of into the right

If git rebase is to handle nonlinear history, it needs much more 
expressive commands; not only saying which commit to pick, but also what 
the commit's parents shall be.
