Advocacy vs. git

Hey all—

Being primarily a Ruby hacker, I run into a lot of git users lately.  
(Git is the current shiny thing among Rails developers.) Git users  
seem to like the `rebase` command for a lot of different reasons. I  
know various Mercurial equivalents for `rebase` use cases have been  
discussed here, but I haven't seen them collected into one place before.

So I thought I'd document some common Mercurial workflows, and at the  
same time stimulate discussion about the relative merits of `rebase`  
vs. `transplant` vs. mq, etc. with a blog post: <http://kbullock.ringworld.org/2009/4/24/on-rebasing 
 >.

I'd love to see some discussion here or in the comments; maybe we can  
turn this into a page on the wiki (if there isn't one already?).
