For user/vendor branches that are rebased (a desirable action), is there any
mechanism for excluding unchanged rebased commits from being seen as
“new”?
I’m guessing that public development branches will probably gravitate to the
no non-FF mode, if they are to be used by people other than the primary author
.. although that does somewhat limit things; rebasing WIP onto trunk and
reorganising / squashing is useful as well.
