Er, actually, I don't want the messing about with $old. At the end of the day, I want to be on the tip of the rebased work.

The problem is that git-cherry-pick only oves a single comit, so if I have a stack, it's annoying.

It's more like:
	git checkout HEAD^0 &&
	for i in `git-rev-list --reverse ..debug_hack`; do
		git-cherry-pick $i
	done &&
	git branch -D debug_hack &&
	git checkout -b debug_hack
