another definition of git-rebase:
git-rebase: the MOST DANGEROUS command in git. you can easily DESTROY
your repo if you don't know what you're doing! Until you get the hang
of it, always make a copy of the before-image of the branch your
rebasing (mybranch) by doing a "git checkout mybranch" and then "git
branch copy-of-mybranch". Then if you destroy mybranch you can recover
it from copy-of-mybranch.
v/r,
