            Bug ID: 5175
           Summary: hg split should have a --rebase (--amend?) option
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

One nuisance I've been hitting is when I have a series of patches, and want to
go back and split up one of the earlier patches (often to separate out a chunk
to roll into a different patch, but sometimes just to split it up.)

The issue is that it creates a new head, and I have to manually rebase to get
my linear series back.

Or perhaps this should be the default, at least when using the -r option to
select an ancestor or for splitting a patch with a single child? Or why can't
this just be the default all of the time (even with multiple children)?
