I just counted 1175 changesets in the Mercurial repository itself which
have been modified by 'hg rebase' -- they show up with an rebase_source
in 'hg log --debug'. That is 6% just from explicit rebases.

Importing patches from the mailinglist will normally do an implicit
rebase too, so the percentage for us is really high.
