What about this?
I agree with Carl that the original example of --onto was not
clear why it is a good thing, so I am inclined to follow his
suggestion and drop the original example and keep your second
one yanked from your try#1 patch when committing, if it is Ok
with you.

That's O.K. by me. 

Perhaps you can add the info that git-rebase with <branch> argument 
switches to given branch (is equivalent to checkout + rebase without
<branch> argument).

P.S. The "transplanting from 'next' to 'master'" example was taken from 
your mail, Junio:
