We should close this ticket, i don`t think its gonna be useful for anything. Read my comment above.

'Rebase always' is just like 'Rebase when necessary' for all practical purposes, only it guarantees that the commit that ends up being merged will always be different then the one the developer that wrote it has locally. This will just be annoying.

> A new submit strategy was included in recent builds of Gerrit: Rebase Always.
> [Docs|https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/project-configuration.html#rebase_always]:
> {quote}Basically, the same as Rebase If Necessary, but it creates a new patchset even if fast forward is possible AND like Cherry Pick it ensures footers such as Change-Id, Reviewed-On, and others are present in resulting commit that is merged.
> Thus, Rebase Always can be considered similar to Cherry Pick, but with the important distinction that Rebase Always does not ignore dependencies.{quote}
> It is only available in [2.14|https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/stable-2.14/gerrit-server/src/main/java/com/google/gerrit/server/git/strategy/] while we are still at 2.12 and [2.13|https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/stable-2.13/gerrit-server/src/main/java/com/google/gerrit/server/git/strategy/] is the current stable branch.
