+Every breakwater commit must be a merge. In principle, this is not
+necessary. After all, we are relying on the
+ [git-debrebase breakwater: ...]
+commit message annotation in "declare" breakwater merges (which
+do not have any upstream changes), to distinguish those breakwater
+merges from ordinary pseudomerges (which we might just try to strip).
+
+However, the user is going to be doing git-rebase a lot. We really
+don't want them to rewrite a breakwater base commit. git-rebase
+trips up on merges, so that is a useful safety catch.
