 USAGE='[--interactive | -i] [-v] [--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>]'
 LONG_USAGE='git-rebase replaces <branch> with a new branch of the
 same name.  When the --onto option is provided the new branch starts
 out with a HEAD equal to <newbase>, otherwise it is equal to <upstream>
 It then attempts to create a new commit for each commit from the original
 <branch> that does not exist in the <upstream> branch.

 It is possible that a merge failure will prevent this process from being
 completely automatic.  You will have to resolve any such merge failure
 and run git rebase --continue.  Another option is to bypass the commit
 that caused the merge failure with git rebase --skip.  To restore the
 original <branch> and remove the .dotest working files, use the command
 git rebase --abort instead.

 Note that if <branch> is not specified on the command line, the
 currently checked out branch is used.

 Example:       git-rebase master~1 topic

         A---B---C topic                   A'\''--B'\''--C'\'' topic
        /                   -->           /
