OK, I've followed this advice and looked at the dependency graphs in
gitk before and after rebasing, I've managed to obtain what I was
after. The repository now has two branches: master and topic. However,
Gitk reveals a problem with a string of commits that are not part of any
branch:
A---B---H---I (master)
\
C---D---E (loose string of commits)
\
D'---E'---F---G (topic)
How do I remove these loose commits (C, D, E)?
Thanks for your feedback,
