'A...B' is a shortcut for 'A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)'.
This XOR-like operation is called symmetric difference in set
theory.
The symbol '...' has been chosen because it's rather similar to the
existing '..' operator and the somewhat more natural caret ('^') is
already taken.

* ew/rebase:
rebase: allow --skip to work with --merge
rebase: cleanup rebasing with --merge
rebase: allow --merge option to handle patches merged upstream
Now that we control the merge base selection, we won't be forced
into rolling things in that we wanted to skip beforehand.
Also, add a test to ensure this all works as intended.

Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch,
recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is
reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of
the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the
cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked
off again from that point at the mainline.
The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does
not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by
using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a
strict superset of the mainline, like this:
git checkout mainline
git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch
: fix conflicts if any
rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD
git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged
This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast
forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never
create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing
special --no-commit could do to begin with.
This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a
workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge
case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases:
git checkout mainline
git pull --squash . that-topic-branch
: fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be
: no conflict if fast forward.
git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged
When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to
the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new
option does not have any effect.
This was brought up in #git IRC channel recently.

When multiple recipients are given to git-send-email on the same
--cc line the code does not properly handle it.
Full and proper parsing of the email addresses so I can detect
which commas mean a new email address is more than I care to implement.
In particular this email address: "bibo,mao" <bibo.mao@intel.com>
must not be treated as two email addresses.
So this patch simply treats all commas in recipient lists as
an error and fails if one is given.
At the same time it documents that git-send-email wants multiple
instances of --cc specified on the command line if you want to
cc multiple recipients.
