In general I'm okay with this as an experimental flag, but I've got a
laundry list of questions that I think are all easily handled with an
updated commit message and maybe one extra round of benchmarks...

Has anyone put any effort into fixing copy tracing? I'm assuming
there's some potential smarts that could be done by walking the
filelogs for the files in the rebase and looking at only those
changes? Or am I missing something (again, I think, as I seem to
remember chatting about this at a sprint) that might stand to be in
this commit message for future archaeologists?

*nod* One thought: could this be the default behavior when all edited
files exist in both the original and new base for the rebase? That
seems like it would fix the obvious move cases and still provide most
of the win?

On what repository? What kind of scale? How about a 3-patch stack
that's a few thousand changes back on mozilla-central as a benchmark
that's more generally useful?
