pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches

was rebased since it was last fetched.  Teach git to use that
information to rebase from the old remote head onto the new remote head.

there is a remote ref for the upstream branch, and this branch
was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that information
to avoid rebasing non-local changes.
