AFAIK, bzr supports rebase less well than Git, both in the sense that
it's a separate plugin, and in the sense that it really doesn't keep
track of the ancestry pre-rebase, contrary to Git which does keep some
info about it. AFAIK, there's no deep reason for that.
As maintainer, I don't care if people rebase rather than merge before
installing changes from their local branch to the trunk. It probably
results in cleaner patches/history, so it's fine by me.
