which, to those who are reading from sidelines:
Given that we're still finding regressions bugs in the rebase-in-C
version should we be considering reverting 5541bd5b8f ("rebase: default
to using the builtin rebase", 2018-08-08)?
I love the feature, but fear that the current list of known regressions
serve as a canary for a larger list which we'd discover if we held off
for another major release (and would re-enable rebase.useBuiltin=true in
master right after 2.20 is out the door).
I am fine with the proposed flip, but I'll have to see the extent of
damage this late in the game so that I won't miss anything. In
addition to the one-liner below, we'd need to update the quoted
release notes entry, and possibly adjust some tests (even though the
"reimplementation" ought to be bug-to-bug compatible, it may not be).
