We state the status-quo in present tense to start problem description, so "Currently" is a noise word you can and should omit. As I already said, at least one example that rebases a branch that was forked from the midpoint of another branch, so the problem description is already false. If we apply this patch, do we lose all examples that rebase a branch that purely builds on top of the tip of another branch? That would also mislead readers into thinking that you need to advance the base branch before you can rebase the forked branch ;-).
