            Bug ID: 5813
           Summary: pull --rebase via hgnested's npull doesn't rebase
                    correctly
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: rebase
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: richard at NetBSD.org
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

In using the hgnested extension for a project such as trytond, I found myself
wishing for support of the rebase extension in order to do simple rebases of
all the nested repositories when doing an hg npull -uv (--rebase).

I adapted a version of hgnested to use extsetup() allowing the rebase extension
to provide its '--rebase' option to the pull command.
(https://bitbucket.org/risto3/hgnested)

But I find that 
> hg npull -uv --rebase
doesn't rebase as the same command would run as
> hg -R <nested-repository> pull -uv --rebase
for each nested repository

I use a very simple case where I have a local patch on top of the current
branch that should be rebased to the top again after the pull && update

I noted this in my issue on
https://bitbucket.org/cedk/hgnested/issues/35/add-rebase-to-npull and am
curious whether the astuce given
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/WritingExtensions#Wrapping_methods_on_the_ui_and_repo_classes
is pertinent, as rebase.py seems to do similar.

But, it is not totally clear when I have rebase= enabled in my global ~/.hgrc
that the extension is not going to work in nested repositories correctly.

Any guidance?
