Urgh. Right. May I ask you to paste this instead?

The function remote_find_tracking() was extended to be able to search 
remote refs for a given local ref.  You have to set either src or dst in 
the refspec, and remote_find_tracking() will fill in the other and return 
0.

I am happy that my fsckup served a purpose, then.  (And maybe this would 
be a good hint in rebase -i's man page, too, since that is how the error 
was introduced here.)
