Odd change in rewrite behavior

When I position the cursor on a commit and do `r b', the `Pending
commits' are now lists everything up to *but not including* the commit
on which I invoked the command. It always used to list everything up to
*and including* that commit. Was this change intentional?

I found the old behavior much more useful, incidentally. The commits in
my "Unpushed" section were exactly the ones where I could begin a
rewrite without causing problems for other people. Now I actually have
to begin rewriting at origin/master if I want to split up the first
commit thereafter.

Very strange; now everything's back to normal. Sorry for the noise.

Two possibilities:
- You were running a dev version between 664e590a and cb7e0235.
- You were running a dev version post-cb7e0235, but had set
`magit-rewrite-inclusive' to nil.
- (info "(magit)Rewriting")
- (describe-variable 'magit-rewrite-inclusive)
