This option is useful in the case where one is developing a feature on
top of an upstream branch. While the feature is being worked on, the
upstream branch may advance and it may not be the best idea to keep
rebasing on top of the upstream but to keep the base commit as-is.

With ask (implied by --interactive), the rebase will halt when
an empty commit is applied allowing you to choose whether to
drop it, edit files more, or just commit the empty changes.
Other options, like --exec, will use the default of drop unless
-i/--interactive is explicitly specified.

BEHAVIORAL DIFFERENCES
-----------------------
git rebase has two primary backends: apply and merge. (The apply
backend used to known as the 'am' backend, but the name led to
confusion as it looks like a verb instead of a noun. Also, the merge
backend used to be known as the interactive backend, but it is now
used for non-interactive cases as well. Both were renamed based on
lower-level functionality that underpinned each.) There are some
subtle differences in how these two backends behave:
There are some subtle differences how the backends behave.
Empty commits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The apply backend unfortunately drops intentionally empty commits, i.e.
commits that started empty, though these are rare in practice. It
also drops commits that become empty and has no option for controlling
this behavior.
The am backend drops any "empty" commits, regardless of whether the
commit started empty (had no changes relative to its parent to
start with) or ended empty (all changes were already applied
upstream in other commits).
The merge backend keeps intentionally empty commits. Similar to the
apply backend, by default the merge backend drops commits that become
empty unless -i/--interactive is specified (in which case it stops and
asks the user what to do). The merge backend also has an
--empty={drop,keep,ask} option for changing the behavior of handling
commits that become empty.
The interactive backend drops commits by default that
started empty and halts if it hits a commit that ended up empty.
The `--keep-empty` option exists for the interactive backend to allow
it to keep commits that started empty.
Directory rename detection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to the lack of accurate tree information (arising from
constructing fake ancestors with the limited information available in
patches), directory rename detection is disabled in the apply backend.
Disabled directory rename detection means that if one side of history
renames a directory and the other adds new files to the old directory,
then the new files will be left behind in the old directory without
any warning at the time of rebasing that you may want to move these
files into the new directory.
Directory rename detection works with the merge backend to provide you
warnings in such cases.
Context
~~~~~~~
The apply backend works by creating a sequence of patches (by calling
`format-patch` internally), and then applying the patches in sequence
(calling `am` internally). Patches are composed of multiple hunks,
each with line numbers, a context region, and the actual changes. The
line numbers have to be taken with some fuzz, since the other side
will likely have inserted or deleted lines earlier in the file. The
context region is meant to help find how to adjust the line numbers in
order to apply the changes to the right lines. However, if multiple
areas of the code have the same surrounding lines of context, the
wrong one can be picked. There are real-world cases where this has
caused commits to be reapplied incorrectly with no conflicts reported.
Setting diff.context to a larger value may prevent such types of
problems, but increases the chance of spurious conflicts (since it
will require more lines of matching context to apply).
The merge backend works with a full copy of each relevant file,
insulating it from these types of problems.
Labelling of conflicts markers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When there are content conflicts, the merge machinery tries to
annotate each side's conflict markers with the commits where the
content came from. Since the apply backend drops the original
information about the rebased commits and their parents (and instead
generates new fake commits based off limited information in the
generated patches), those commits cannot be identified; instead it has
to fall back to a commit summary. Also, when merge.conflictStyle is
set to diff3, the apply backend will use "constructed merge base" to
label the content from the merge base, and thus provide no information
about the merge base commit whatsoever.
The merge backend works with the full commits on both sides of history
and thus has no such limitations.
Hooks
~~~~~
The apply backend has not traditionally called the post-commit hook,
while the merge backend has. However, this was by accident of
implementation rather than by design. Both backends should have the
same behavior, though it is not clear which one is correct.
Interruptability
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The apply backend has safety problems with an ill-timed interrupt; if
the user presses Ctrl-C at the wrong time to try to abort the rebase,
the rebase can enter a state where it cannot be aborted with a
subsequent `git rebase --abort`. The merge backend does not appear to
suffer from the same shortcoming. (See
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200207132152.GC2868@szeder.dev/ for
details.)
Commit Rewording
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a conflict occurs while rebasing, rebase stops and asks the user
to resolve. Since the user may need to make notable changes while
resolving conflicts, after conflicts are resolved and the user has run
`git rebase --continue`, the rebase should open an editor and ask the
user to update the commit message. The merge backend does this, while
the apply backend blindly applies the original commit message.
Miscellaneous differences
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a few more behavioral differences that most folks would
probably consider inconsequential but which are mentioned for
completeness:
* Reflog: The two backends will use different wording when describing
the changes made in the reflog, though both will make use of the
word "rebase".
* Progress, informational, and error messages: The two backends
provide slightly different progress and informational messages.
Also, the apply backend writes error messages (such as "Your files
would be overwritten...") to stdout, while the merge backend writes
them to stderr.
* State directories: The two backends keep their state in different
directories under .git/
Directory rename heuristics are enabled in the merge and interactive
backends. Due to the lack of accurate tree information, directory
rename detection is disabled in the am backend.
