No, unfortunately, it does not. If the topic branch was not based on
the current tip of master, "git rebase --preserve-merges" will rebase
the commits of the topic branch as well. So this:
Q -- R -- S (topic)
/ \
A -- B ------- D (master)
Will become this after "git rebase --preserve-merges @{u}":
Q' -- R' -- S' (topic')
/ \
A -- B -- C -------------- D' (master)
It's unfortunate for a couple of reasons. First, we don't want Q, R,
and S rebased--we just want the merge replayed. Secondly, it gets
more confusing because Q, R, and S were rebased, but the topic branch
wasn't actually touched. So topic still contains Q, R, and S, but
master now contains Q', R', and S'. What we actually want is:
Q -- R -- S (topic)
/ \
A -- B -- C -- D' (master)
HTH!
