rebase question


Over the last several days I've been reading the thread that
eventually migrated to a discussion of combining rebase and perlrebase
as one.

I've largely ignored it because I have never had a problem with cygwin
that wasn't my fault.

It seems more and more this rebase deal is coming up and I'm starting
to be interested, for curiosity purposes if no other reason.

The perlrebase maintainer even posted that he wrote the script because
he was having a problem repeatedly.

It seems as if rebase and friends are suggested to fix a wide array of
strange problems, which I have never seen.

So here are my questions:

1) What problem does rebase actually fix that seems to fix so many
different strange problems?

2) Why do some people seem to have this problem often, and others
almost never?
