Of course it's also a problem if one is rebasing onto a commit that is
newer than the commits that are being rebased. That makes it more of a
concern, though the option has existed since 2009 and I don't recall
anyone complaining about the effects of using it. We should certainly
spell out the potential problems in the documentation.
Best Wishes
Phillip
