can use --base=auto for this.  Also, mention the readers that the

s/the readers/to readers/

range of commits can simply be given with `@{u}` if they are on the
`psuh` branch already.

As we are getting one more option on the command line, and spending
one paragraph each to explain them, let's reformat that part of the
