Btw, I have to say that I was a bit uncertain about doing the rebasing by 
way of a three-way merge, but when I recently did a revert, I was _really_ 
happy with how well "git revert" did the rebasing of the revert. It wasn't 
even a clean merge, but leaving the conflict in the tree and allowing me 
to fix it up made what would otherwise have been a much more complex 
manual operation be 99% automated.

So I'm _neither_ a StGIT not mq user, but I can definitely say that 
rebasing with a three-way merge instead of just trying to apply the patch 
(whether in reverse like in a merge, or just re-apply it straigt) is 
really really nice.
