vc-git: interactive rebasing

[Manuel Uberti]

Hello everyone,

as my recent bug report[1] and some writings on my blog[2] witness, I've been 
using and actually really liking the built-in VC. Beside thanking everyone 
involved with this feature, I'd like to know how one can approach an interactive 
rebase with it.

Let me try to provide an example. Usually, 'M-! git rebase master' is enough 
when I work on my projects, but sometimes I need to squash commits before 
pushing. Is it possible to rely on VC for this? If it is not a problem, could 
you describe how you would do it?

Note that relying on 'M-!' or 'shell-mode' is good too for me. As long as 
everything can be done from Emacs, I am not asking to extend VC just for this 
specific workflow.

BTW, before anyone suggests it: I know this is all doable from Magit, I was 
using Magit before (and I still have it installed). I am just trying to 
understand a different approach in order to decide which one suits me best.
