Using this flag helps when trying to combine commits.  I noticed it in
the code for git/rebase when I was trying to figure out why my
invocation of git/rebase wasn't working.  I still haven't figured it
out, but side-stepped the problem by doing mostly what git/rebase does
(create a temporary branch, apply patches, commit, then delete the
original branch and use the temporary branch to create a new branch
named after the original: clever).
