You could achieve the same with just rebases. The merge is actually not necessary here (except if you don't want to duplicate the commits - but I hardly see that as an argument).

Indeed I don't want to duplicate the commits. I would like to keep the in-flight structure of my work as clean as possible. But that's a matter of personal taste and is not necessarily right for everybody.

I 100% agree with the first paragraph. (@Edward's answer works where that is not the case, but I'd rather have all project in the world work like you suggest). The rest of the answer seems a bit far-fetched in sense that working on C while A and B are in progress is already sort of risky (at least to the extent it really depends on A and B), and even in the end you would not probably keep the merges (C would get rebased on top of the latest & greatest).
