Hmm, git rebase already removes old merge commits.  In my own
workflow, I tend to do repeated merges of the "live branch" into my
feature branches during development, then do a rebase occasionally to
clean up the patch set, especially right before merging it into
master.  This seems pretty painless to me.  What specific problem are
you having that prevents this from working?

Have fun,
