I think what happened is that I used to have post-rewrite, but because it did not solve the real issue of multiple commits existing for the same message ID (either because of amending, or because of running "am" multiple times while looking for the best base to contruct a topic branch for the series that contains it) *and* the one that will eventually used in the final history may not be the last one (e.g. I may "am" twice to see if an older base I use in my second attempt is a better one than the base I originally used, and the patches may even apply cleanly to the older history, but may turn out to need semantic adjustment, at which point I would discard that second attempt and use the old commit from the first attempt that built on a newer base), I stopped using it. The mid-to-commit, for it to be relialble, needs to keep mapping for all the commits created from a single message, instead of being the last-one-survives mapping. I just didn't have that much interest back when I decided it was not worth and dropped the post-rewrite, I think.
