yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I've never benchmarked it, but I assume rebase speed is a result of the delta of commits between your branch and the branch you're rebasing against, not the absolute size of commits for a repo

More interested in hearing more about the use case for this tool. AFAIK Git was created for use with Linux, which is a large codes base with lots of churn. One would asume rebase would work with a large codebase like that



Yes, it's equivalent to checkout and cherry-pick.

(And to be exact, then possibly branch -f and checkout, depending what was rebased.)
