Subject: [PATCH] Bugfixes for git-rebase
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fix bugs in git-rebase wrt rebasing another branch than
the current HEAD, rebasing with a dirty working dir,
and rebasing a proper decendant of the target branch.

[jc: with a bit of hand-merging]
