I thought I had answered that one.

Flattening the history is what happens in regular rebase (i.e. without
--recreate-merges and without --preserve-merges).

The idea to recreate merges is of course to *not* flatten the history.

Maybe there should have been a comma after "history" to clarify what the
sentence means.

The wording is poor either way, but you are also not a native speaker so
we have to rely on, say, Eric to help us out here.

Ciao,
Johannes
