Now I would like to move this branch, and all the descendent branches, to a new base, and I might need to do so quiet frequently before I merge it to master branch. My "dirty" way is to rebase step by step, it takes about 15-20 rebases, but the branches is somehow complicated, and this seems error-prone to me. Is there a more clean way to do so? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Mac Lin
