git-rebase

git-rebase man page mentions -X<option> can be passed to git-merge. When/how exactly?

I'd like to rebase by applying patches with recursive strategy and theirs option (apply whatever sticks, rather than skipping entire conflicting commits). I don't want merge, I want to make history linear.

I've tried:

git rebase -Xtheirs

and

git rebase -s 'recursive -Xtheirs'

but git rejects -X in both cases.
