>From my point of view, rebase does perform multiple steps,
each being enabled by default, but each to become optional:

1) Perform the "rebase", with flag for disabling to be defined.
2) "Record" (or "enlist") to database, with --oblivious flag for disabling.

While it is fine to have both enabled by default, disabling one step by
explicitly enabling the (already enabled) other step feels confusing...

So, consequently, what about renaming --oblivious to --no-record (or --no-enlist),
to end up with the "rebase" and the "record" (or "enlist") steps both being
disabled by the according --no-<step> flag?

Thanks!
