I'm also not a native English speaker, but I spent about 2.5 years
contributing a whole lot to English Wikipedia, so I'd dare to say I've
honed my English skills rather well.  Thus, here's my take on this:

     Takes a range of commits and replays them onto a new location.
     Leaves the working tree and the index untouched, and updates no
     references.  The output of this command is to be used...

This is written in a concise yet slightly imperative way, which should
be suitable for the purpose.  I hope you agree.

I agree and I like it, so I have changed it to the above in version 5
I just sent.

Great, thanks.
