Indeed. The problem is very real when you want to do "git merge; git
push" and the merge is non-trivial, since you have to hurry to fix the
merge problems before someone else.

I do use "git rebase" when none of the local commits are merges.
When there's a merge, the only option I know of is to checkout "master",
then do a "git merge {localbranch}; git push".
I really think there should be a way to tell git to "merge in the other
direction", but Git people don't seem to listen.

What can I say, you were right. I'm not really bothered by the shape of
the DAG itself, but the commit-diffs are pretty annoying and there are
a few other linked problems such as the one discussed in this thread.
