GitHub uses the committee date, and the committee date changes with rebase. So I almost always --committer-date-is-author-date. Most people don't and it kind of makes their rebases ugly in GitHub, appear to all have happened at time of rebase, which is obviously no good & useless.
Rebasing is excellent. It's a whole suite of tools, unlike merge, which is just merge, for managing history. Rebasing is how I build a sensible history.
I should see if there's some way to set --committer-date-is-author-date by default. Also haven't found a way to make git pull --rebase do c-d-i-a-d.
