How do _you_ cope with your main development branch constantly
rebasing? You rebase your dependent branches. They would do the same
thing.

A common practice is to have many feature branches, and one main
development branch. The feature branches would change a lot, and
eventually be merged (fast-forward) to the main branch. However, the
main branch can rebase too, but hopefully not that often.

Note that even if you don't rebase your main branch people are going
to rebase anyway if your banch keeps going forward.

Cheers.
