Given that the ubifs folks are depending on the existing branch,
having duplicate commits is considered an acceptable tradeoff to not
rebasing a published commit that other trees are depending on.

I tell people that the ext4.git dev branch is a rewinding branch, so
people shouldn't be building other trees on top of it unless they are
willing to deal with the fact that it can be rebased. However, i
didn't give that warning for the fscrypt branch, so I'd much rather
not rewind/rebase it.
