+ * "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 ;-).
