Note that if this happens again, and you have a really good reason to
rebase, please _mention_ that reason.

The whole taking me by surprise when I notice after-the-fact that I've
pulled something that was committed just hours before is about the
worst thing that can happen (always excepting obviously untested code
- me finding that the code doesn't even compile is even worse, of
course, even if it wasn't recently committed).

So if there's a good reason why something is very recent, and you
mention it, and it's not a common pattern, I get much less upset.
