Re: Rebase semantic and cherry-pick

In contrast, here's an alternate workflow that is much easier to explain,

git checkout his
git cherry-pick origin..mine

Now, "git cherry-pick" doesn't actually support the above format, and I'm
not saying that the "git rebase" name itself is evil. I think we could fix
"git rebase" to work better, but the semantics - the way they are
_designed_ right now - are just horrible.

Perhaps if possible also have

git cherry-pick --whole-branch branchname

meaning

git cherry-pick branchname:begining..branchname:HEAD
