From what I read here your _incautorebase would replace _autorebase
just fine.  I'm not concerned about an exact replacement for the
rebaseall script.  The idea would be to make _incautorebase into
drop-in replacement for _autorebase and throw away my _autorebase
stuff.  Rebaseall would stay, it's part of the rebase package anyway.
