Please disregard this part.  It's late here, and I mistook StGIT's
push for GIT's push.  Once we are talking about StGIT's push (push of
the patch back to the stack), why would we want to start tree-way
merge when the context has changed?  My point was exactly that since I
want to keep my patches up-to-date with the main branch, I do rebase
from time to time, and I'm not interested in doing the merge every
time just because something has changed upstream in surrounding code.

The same goes for patches that were already applied upstream.
Whatever the current context around the code of my applied patch is, I
have to accept it, because the patch was applied.  I'm going to throw
it away locally, but currently I have to do the merge first.

I think I didn't get you point.
