As I suggested in another sub-thread, I think the best way forward is to
use your idea to make the 'rebase original merge commits' strategy
explicit.

That would not actually hold up the current --recreate-merges patch
series, but would mean to provide an add-on patch series to add support
for `merge -R` and then use that from the generated todo list.

For implementation detail reasons, it may actually make sense to integrate
those patches into the --recreate-merges patch series, though. Should not
be hard (except during GitMerge).

Hehe...
