+ * "git rebase" uses a different backend that is based on the 'merge'
+ machinery by default. There are a few known differences in the
+ behaviour from the traditional machniery based on patch+apply.
+
+ If your workflow is negatively affected by this change, please
+ report it to git@vger.kernel.org so that we can take a look into
+ it. In the meantime, the 'rebase.backend' configuration variable
+ can be set in order to use the old default behaviour (the value to
+ do so is not described here---it is given to those who report their
+ issues to the list ;-).
