Subject: Suggestion: rebase [--onto <newbase>] [<upstream>][..[<branch>]]
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:44:29 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <hbf.20120117gdfh@bombur.uio.no> (raw)

I think
	git rebase [--onto <newbase>] [<upstream>][..[<branch>]]
would be a more readable syntax for what rebase is doing.  Easier
to see which argument means what without staring at the manpage.
"..[<branch>]" without <upstream> implies --root.
