the `rebase-cousins` mode is turned on, such commits are instead rebased

with care: the final stash application after a successful
rebase might result in non-trivial conflicts.

Directory rename detection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The merge and interactive backends work fine with
-directory rename detection. The am backend sometimes does not.
+Directory rename heuristics are enabled in the merge and interactive

At this time, the `merge` command will *always* use the `recursive`
merge strategy for regular merges, and `octopus` for octopus merges,

+with no way to choose a different one. To work around
this, an `exec` command can be used to call `git merge` explicitly,
using the fact that the labels are worktree-local refs (the ref
`refs/rewritten/onto` would correspond to the label `onto`, for example).
