Optional.  Phab works off the diff file you give it, not by comparing to
the source in git.  (This is why we ask for the full-context diff, so
reviewers can look anywhere in the file you were working from.)  If the 
patches were dependent, you'd really want to rebase, but for independent 
patches it doesn't matter.  (Well, if there are a *lot* of changes, then
people might ask for a rebase just to make sure nothing was affected.
And if you're going to make changes in response to comments, my feeling
is you might as well rebase at the same time.)
