git-rebase [--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>] git-rebase --continue git-rebase --abort 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. 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. If you can not resolve the merge
+failure, running git rebase --abort will restore the original <branch>
+and remove the working files found in the .dotest directory. Note that if <branch> is not specified on the command line, the currently
+checked out branch is used. Assume the following history exists and the current branch is "topic": From this point, the result of either of the following commands: would be: While, starting from the same point, the result of either of the following

Working branch; defaults to HEAD.
+ Restart the rebasing process after having resolved a merge conflict. +
++ Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation. +
+When you rebase a branch, you are changing its history in a way that +will cause problems for anyone who already has a copy of the branch +in their repository and tries to pull updates from you. You should +understand the implications of using git rebase on a repository that +you share.
+When the git rebase command is run, it will first execute a "pre-rebase" +hook if one exists. You can use this hook to do sanity checks and +reject the rebase if it isn't appropriate. Please see the template +pre-rebase hook script for an example.
+You must be in the top directory of your project to start (or continue) +a rebase. Upon completion, <branch> will be the current branch.
