This would probably be ok for smaller projects. My current codebase takes an hour and a half to build, so a rebase to master will involve anywhere from 10 to 100 rebuilds (1-10 days worth), not to mention the whole process stopping on each merge conflict, which will stretch out the rebase time even more as Murphy's Law will place every conflict outside of working hours.

What are you doing where a build takes that long (and can't be done incrementally)?

When doing anything with FPGAs for example, 90 minutes for a compilation is actually in the low side of things (and incremental builds with EDA tools have essentially never worked for me except in a tiny and unpredictable subset of cases).
