USAGE='[--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>]'
LONG_USAGE='git-rebase applies to <upstream> (or optionally to <newbase>) commits
from <branch> that do not appear in <upstream>. When <branch> is not
specified it defaults to the current branch (HEAD).

When git-rebase is complete, <branch> will be updated to point to the
newly created line of commit objects, so the previous line will not be
accessible unless there are other references to it already.

Assuming the following history:

          A---B---C topic
         /
    D---E---F---G master

The result of the following command:

    git-rebase --onto master~1 master topic

  would be:

              A'\''--B'\''--C'\'' topic
             /
    D---E---F---G master
