USAGE='[--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.  You must be in the top
directory of your project to start (or continue) a rebase.

Example:       git-rebase master~1 topic

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

RESOLVEMSG="
When you have resolved this problem run \"git rebase --continue\".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run \"git rebase --skip\".
To restore the original branch and stop rebasing run \"git rebase --abort\".
