USAGE='[--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>]'
LONG_USAGE='If <branch> is specified, switch to that branch first.  Then,
extract commits in the current branch that are not in <upstream>,
and reconstruct the current on top of <upstream>, discarding the original
development history.  If --onto <newbase> is specified, the history is
reconstructed on top of <newbase>, instead of <upstream>.  For example,
while on "topic" branch:

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

	$ '"$0"' --onto master~1 master topic

would rewrite the history to look like this:


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