[Agda-dev] Please use rebase when adding to stable-2.5

When working on new patches for the stable branch, please use rebase 
instead of merge to pull new changes from the upstream stable branch. 
This way your patches will "swim on top" and stay together.

When you are done, you can simply push to stable without creating a 
merge patch.  (Finally, merging into master will of course create a 
merge patch.)

For your working copy of the stable branch, set

   rebase = true

in .git/config.

Best,
Andreas
