This is a good example of why git repos should be snapshot and archived to read-only media periodically.

I like this! Thank you

It does a rebase, so everybody that has a copy and pulls will notice.

Good point. Would code review tools catch this? Gerrit, Crucible, et al? More specifically, how obvious would it be and would people question what they see?

Tools will probably show that you are trying to merge/push all commits since (and including) the changed one, unless they have something special to detect rebases and display them differently.
