.TH GIT-REBASE-SUBTREE 1 "@PACKAGE_TARNAME@ @PACKAGE_VERSION@" "2007\-11\-02" "@PACKAGE_NAME@ @PACKAGE_VERSION@"
.SH NAME
git\-rebase\-subtree \- rebase set of interdependant git branches
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "git\-rebase\-subtree"
.I "<origin-branch>"
.I "<master-branch>"
.SH DESCRIPTION
So you are tracking some upstream's git repo and maintain your own set
of interdependent feature branches ("branch subtree").
.PP
And you want to keep that "branch subtree" up-to-date in relation to
upstream so it stays sweet, small, and clean, increasing the chances
that upstream will finally pick something up from it.
.PP
Initial situation: Local branch master tracks remote origin.
.PP
Note: Letters A\-Z are branch names, not revs.
.PP
Old tree:
.nf
*\-\-F
/
origin=master\-\-A\-\-B\-\-G
\\
*\-\-D\-\-H
\\
*\-\-*\-\-K
.fi
.PP
After "git\-fetch \-v":
.nf
*\-\-F
/
master\-\-\-A\-\-B\-\-G
\\ \\
* *\-\-D\-\-H
\\ \\
origin' *\-\-*\-\-K
.fi
.PP
After hypothetical "git\-rebase\-subtree origin master":
.nf
*'\-\-F'
/
origin'=master'\-\-A'\-\-B'\-\-G'
\\
*'\-\-D'\-\-H'
\\
*'\-\-*'\-\-K'
.fi
.SH "SEE ALSO"
git\-rebase(1).
