Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: reword rebase summary
Date: Tue,  1 Mar 2016 14:49:58 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456872598-32571-1-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com> (raw)

The wording is introduced in c3f0baaca (Documentation: sync git.txt
command list and manual page title, 2007-01-18), but rebase has evolved
since then, capture the modern usage by being more generic about the
rebase command in the summary.
