Some may be mistakes - I think some are deliberate rebases.
There's a policy question we'll need to figure out for after the
conversion of whether we want to have a branch namespace where people can
push branches that can be deleted and rebased (while branches outside that
namespace can't be deleted / rebased). (Where a git rebase of course is
different from an SVN rebase in that the history becomes liable to be
garbage-collected.)
