[PATCH 7/7] Add an optional limit to git-rebase

From: Yann Dirson <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:16
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

This patch adds a limit to restrict the list of patches to rebase.

This is useful when a set of patches were done against a given head,
but needs to be ported to a different head, as opposed to being ported
to a descendant of the original head.  In such a case we only want to
port our own patches, not those that make the two branches different
upstream.
