Erm, Leo, my whole email was about when you can rebase and when you can't.

Of course you can rebase your pushed changes over master, that doesn't
change master any. The only exceptions are feature branches were
multiple people work together. That is the only case where a simple
"rebase origin/master" isn't allowed.
