6 USAGE='[--interactive | -i] [-v] [--onto <newbase>] [<upstream>|--root] [<branch>]'
7 LONG_USAGE='git-rebase replaces <branch> with a new branch of the
8 same name. When the --onto option is provided the new branch starts
9 out with a HEAD equal to <newbase>, otherwise it is equal to <upstream>
10 It then attempts to create a new commit for each commit from the original
11 <branch> that does not exist in the <upstream> branch.
13 It is possible that a merge failure will prevent this process from being
14 completely automatic. You will have to resolve any such merge failure
15 and run git rebase --continue. Another option is to bypass the commit
16 that caused the merge failure with git rebase --skip. To restore the
17 original <branch> and remove the .git/rebase-apply working files, use the
18 command git rebase --abort instead.
20 Note that if <branch> is not specified on the command line, the
21 currently checked out branch is used.

39 When you have resolved this problem run \"git rebase --continue\".
