Link to hand is here if that's too small

Down 4. Really, GIB? (I'd have bid 6♣, but couldn't bear the thought of winding up in an eventual 7♦.)

I know the feeling. About a year ago, I had a 8-card Spade suit in 4th seat. I don't remember who opened, I do know though that my RHO bid 1♠. I believe that I bid 4♠ on the spot, and then GIB kept bidding over me repeating Spades all the way up to 7♠, which went down 4 (could have kept it down 3 if I remember correctly). Amazingly, RHO with AK♠ and an outside Ace didn't double.

What's the requirement for bidding 2♥ over 1♠?

It has a different definition of "twice rebiddable" than I do. (BTW, doesn't "twice rebiddable" mean that it can be bid three times? I think that's a programming error.)
