This branch has already been merged from the trunk once previously,
after I published it for the first time.  There were conflicts to fix
up then too.  So as I understand it that would mean that it's too late
to rebase ?

I think the rebase workflow doesn't really work for something as
substantial as this which has to be published and examined by others
while development continues on the trunk.

Right.
