From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>
Instead of the fixed "<oldbase> <branch>" arguments, the replay
command now accepts "<revision-range>..." arguments in a similar
way as many other Git commands. This makes its interface more
standard and more flexible.
This also enables many revision related options accepted and
eaten by setup_revisions(). If the replay command was a high level
one or had a high level mode, it would make sense to restrict some
of the possible options, like those generating non-contiguous
history, as they could be confusing for most users.
Also as the interface of the command is now mostly finalized,
we can add more documentation and more testcases to make sure
the command will continue to work as designed in the future.
We only document the rev-list related options among all the
revision related options that are now accepted, as the rev-list
related ones are probably the most useful for now.

+OUTPUT
+------
+
+When there are no conflicts, the output of this command is usable as
+input to `git update-ref --stdin`. It is of the form:
+
+ update refs/heads/branch1 ${NEW_branch1_HASH} ${OLD_branch1_HASH}
+ update refs/heads/branch2 ${NEW_branch2_HASH} ${OLD_branch2_HASH}
+ update refs/heads/branch3 ${NEW_branch3_HASH} ${OLD_branch3_HASH}
+
+where the number of refs updated depends on the arguments passed and
+the shape of the history being replayed.
EXIT STATUS
-----------
@@ -36,6 +61,32 @@ the replay has conflicts, the exit status is 1. If the replay is not
able to complete (or start) due to some kind of error, the exit status
is something other than 0 or 1.
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+To simply rebase `mybranch` onto `target`:
+
+------------
+$ git replay --onto target origin/main..mybranch
+update refs/heads/mybranch ${NEW_mybranch_HASH} ${OLD_mybranch_HASH}
+------------
+
+When calling `git replay`, one does not need to specify a range of
+commits to replay using the syntax `A..B`; any range expression will
+do:
+
+------------
+$ git replay --onto origin/main ^base branch1 branch2 branch3
+update refs/heads/branch1 ${NEW_branch1_HASH} ${OLD_branch1_HASH}
+update refs/heads/branch2 ${NEW_branch2_HASH} ${OLD_branch2_HASH}
+update refs/heads/branch3 ${NEW_branch3_HASH} ${OLD_branch3_HASH}
+------------
+
+This will simultaneously rebase `branch1`, `branch2`, and `branch3`,
+all commits they have since `base`, playing them on top of
+`origin/main`. These three branches may have commits on top of `base`
+that they have in common, but that does not need to be the case.
