Thanks Moritz and sorry for not adequately describing the situation.
The scenario is much simpler; imagine master has a longer history behind
the point where the topic branch started:
A---B---C topic
/
*---D---E---F---G master
And we want to keep both branches separate (no desire to merge them for
now), but we realize that, say, commits D and E should be
squashed/fixup, so we do an interactive rebase. Now, the problem is
that if I do that from the topic branch, the results are not reflected
in the master branch, even though these commits are certainly shared
with master. It seems counterintuitive that a part of history that is
shared among branches can be independently manipulated/rewritten with
rebase. I must be missing something...
