It's nice that --split-merged-entry separates merged but unrelated
entries to make the rebase succeed.  But what about the converse - is
there any demand for a filter that would merge neighboring entries if
they share the same author and date, to get a rebased series to use the
same style as the original branch, so that the mere act of rebasing
doesn't break the author's style of merged entries?
