The variable "branch_name" holds the <branch> parameter in "git rebase <upstream> <branch>", but one codepath did not use it after assigning $1 to it (instead it kept using $1). Make it use the variable consistently. Also, update an error message to say there is no such branch or commit, as we are expecting either of them, and not limiting ourselves to a branch name.
