I'm having trouble figuring out which kind of workflow would benefit
from this. Unless you work disconnected, or for some other reason wish
to send upstream your quick fixes on batches, how would you benefit from
`rebase'? If you work connected, just do your quick fixes on a branch
bound to upstream, then you essentially do the same sequence of
operations you used with CVS: update & commit, and everything with
VC-dir.

[Also, please note that the Rebase plugin for bzr does not support
git's --interactive]
