Not for this one. Doing this in "small steps" (e.g. one directory per day)
would make you need to rebuild everything every day over the next two month.

This is a showcase of something that needs to be done in the fewest possible
steps to prevent more pain.

Why are you rebasing daily? I work on patches and rebase them once directly
before pushing them to master sparing myself a lot of pain (and severely
reducing the risk of ending up with rebasing on a broken master etc.). I can
see others doing the same.

And with gerrit you can even push you change to refs/for/master without having
to frantically race to be rebased and rebuild to the latest head of master.

Best,
