Small remark: > As far as I can tell, this is the first time the phrase “rebase” was used in version control ClearCase (which I had a displeasure to use) has been using the term "rebase" as well. Googling "clearcase rebase before:2005" finds [0] from 1999. (by the way, a ClearCase rebase was literally taking up to half an hour on the codebase I was working on - in 2012; instant git rebases blew my mind).
