another definition of git-rebase:

git-rebase:  the MOST DANGEROUS command in git.  you can easily DESTROY 
your repo if you don't know what you're doing!  Until you get the hang 
of it, always make a copy of the before-image of the branch your 
rebasing (mybranch) by doing a "git checkout mybranch" and then "git 
branch copy-of-mybranch".  Then if you destroy mybranch you can recover 
it from copy-of-mybranch.
