       Assume the following history exists and the current branch is "topic":


                     A---B---C topic
                    /
               D---E---F---G master

       From this point, the result of either of the following commands:


           git rebase master
           git rebase master topic
       would be:


                             A´--B´--C´ topic
                            /
               D---E---F---G master
