    Well, that's the point where the user, in theory, goes "this is weird, why is
    it 39 commits," and does Ctrl-C, but I'm happy to accept blame here -- we
    should be more careful with this operation and bail out whenever we recognize
    that something has gone wrong. To begin with, we'll output a listing of all
    the commits that will be rewritten, just to make it more obvious when things
    are about to go wrong.

    Thanks for looking into this. Linus, this is accurate and I am 100% convinced
    that there was no malicious intent. My apologies for being part of the mess
    through the tooling.
    
    I will reinstate Kees's account so he can resume his work.
