Right now, the sequence is:

Btw, I realize that the advantage of "git rebase" is that it doesn't 
change somebody elses branch. However, we'd still be a lot better off with 
us simply doing the equivalent of something like

    git checkout -b new-mine his && 
	git cherry-pick origin..mine &&
	git rename-branch -f new-mine mine

instead of what git-rebase does now.
