And the earlier "why +/-" could be done after this picture,
perhaps like:

	Here, we see that the commits A and C (marked with `-`) can
	be dropped from your `topic` branch when you rebase it on
	top of `origin/master`, while the commit B (marked with `+`)
	still needs to be kept so that it will be sent to be applied
	to `origin/master`.

or somesuch?
Good idea, thanks.  Will integrate this more "what still needs to be
integrated"-minded wording into a v3.
