I applied it but changed the patch a bit so that there is no need for
the --to option. I understood your point but I find it a bit strange
to have this mandatory option. Anyway, command line syntax doesn't
have to follow the natural language exactly :-).

Well, I thought the natural next patch to this command would be,
according to the discussions with Jakub, to make first "--to target"
optional, as a natural replacement for "stg pull . <target>" when the
target is the parent branch, and then possibly add the ability of
running rebase from the target branch as also sugested by Jakub,
leading to the natural "rebase [<stack>|--to <target>]" syntax.

Although I'm not sure we'll do that in the near future, removing the
need for --to would somewhat get in the way of this possibility.

I'll go through the other e-mails tomorrow (too late here) and either
add the option back or come with counter arguments :-)
