6 USAGE='[--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>]'
7 LONG_USAGE='If <branch> is specified, switch to that branch first. Then,
8 extract commits in the current branch that are not in <upstream>,
9 and reconstruct the current on top of <upstream>, discarding the original
10 development history. If --onto <newbase> is specified, the history is
11 reconstructed on top of <newbase>, instead of <upstream>. For example,
12 while on "topic" branch:
14 A---B---C topic
16 D---E---F---G master
18 $ '"$0"' --onto master~1 master topic
20 would rewrite the history to look like this:
23 A'\''--B'\''--C'\'' topic
25 D---E---F---G master
