   I am trying to make commits that build.  Sometimes they can be small.
   Sometimes they create an entire FFI generator, or a test for said FFI
   generator *with* build support.  I suppose I could have implemented
   the build support before the test, even split the test library from
   the actual test,... but none of that would help me produce something
   that works.  How would I test the building of FFIS without one?

Fair enough.  I suppose another advantage to rebasing over merging is
that the commits don't get scattered into the history where it's hard
to find them.  Personally I prefer to make independent commits
separately, even if that means committing something that nothing uses
yet -- `Implement BAR in preparation for FOO.'
