I gave Levitation a try.
After some finessing I could get it to do what I wanted, I documented it in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T157233 in case someone is interested.
I'm not sure how effective git was at automatically resolving the conflicts
during the rebase so in order for this to fully work for me I would have to
integrate the git part better in my script to have some sort of assisted
conflict resolution. I'm unlikely to do that so likely will not continue
this experiment.
Cheers,
Andr=C3=A9
