Here's what I did when I was in topicA:
$ git rebase dev stable topicA
(this was suggested in the manpage as well).
I guess you also had an "--onto" in there, as the above would throw a
syntax error. As long as the branches are in order, I cannot see how
that wouldn't do what you wanted.
However, the easiest way to do it would probably just to run:
git checkout topicA
git rebase dev
As long as "dev" already contains all the commits in "stable", that
should work fine. If not, then you would need something more
complicated.
Another way to do it would be to use cherry-pick on a new branch:
git checkout -b new_topicA dev
git cherry-pick stable..topicA
