Makes sense. As long as it is coordinated with Alban and Pratik, as both
of their GSoC projects are affected by this.
In particular Pratik's project, I think, would actually *benefit* from
your work, as it might even make it possible to turn all modes but
--preserve-merges into pure builtin code, which would be awesome.

In general, I tried the statements to return success at all times. That
means that
test -n "$GIT_QUIET" ||
would be better in this case.

Maybe it would be better to `echo t` into that file? That way, scripts
that used the value in that file would continue to work. (But maybe there
were no scripts that could use it, as only the interactive rebase allows
scripting, and it did not handle that flag before?)
The rest looks obviously good.
Thank you!
