Please don't show stage#2 and stage#3 swapped to the end user,
unless that is protected behind an option (not per-repo config).
It is pretty much ingrained that stage#2 is what came from the
commit that will become the first parent of the commit being
prepared, and changing it without an explicit command line option
will break tools.

Perhaps you two should pay a bit closer attention to what Thomas
Gummerer is working on.  I've touched above in my earlier comments,
too, e.g.  <xmqqefb3mhrs....@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com>
