I wonder if any SCM other than git has easy way to "rebase" a branch,
i.e. cut branch at branching point, and transplant it to the tip
of other branch. For example you work on 'xx/topic' topic branch,
and want to have changes in those branch but applied to current work,
not to the version some time ago when you have started working on
said feature. 

Precisely how does this rebase operate in git ? 
Does it preserve revision ids for the existing work, or do they all
change?


bzr has a graft plugin which walks one branch applying all its changes
to another preserving the users metadata but changing the uuids for
revisions.
