It was my plan to integrate it into the sequencer, once the rebase--helper
landed in `master`. Little did I know how long it would take to get this
done...

My loose idea was to deprecate --preserve-merges after introducing a
--recreate-branches, or some such. But enough of that. The rebase--helper
needs to get here first.
