I don't see what that has to do with an invocation of 'git rebase'
without arguments, and @{tail}. There's absolutely no way Git can
figure out for you which is the appropriate place for you to rebase
onto.

However, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a tool that checks
multiple commits and tells you on top of which ones a rebase could
work, but I don't think 'git rebase' is the right place.
