You can see it in action in my git.git repo: You know, maybe you could even use this to automatically figure out the merge base for downstreams that follow your rebased branch: auto-generate the git rebase --onto <head> <head as it was prior to all the upstream rebases>. That would be awesome, particularly if integrated into git. It would then be fine to rebase published branches in most cases, for example.
