What is it that people don't get from git-rebase(1)?
When you rebase a branch, you are changing its history in a way that
will cause problems for anyone who already has a copy of the branch in
their repository and tries to pull updates from you. You should
understand the implications of using git rebase on a repository that
you share.
In short, never rebase something that is already public.

Ugh. I laughed when I first read this, but now I feel more revulsion.
Ugh.
