Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] git rebase: Make sure upstream branch is left alone.

Hi Phillip,

The expected behavior: (as per v2.21.0:/git-legacy-rebase.sh:679)
    AUTOSTASH=$(git stash create autostash)
    git reset --hard
    git checkout master
    git rebase upstream
    git stash apply $AUTOSTASH 


The actual behavior:
    AUTOSTASH=$(git stash create autostash)
    git reset --hard master
    git checkout master
    git rebase upstream
    git stash apply $AUTOSTASH 

So, the problem with the actual behavior is the move of the currently active branch with 'git reset --hard master'


Best regards,

Ben...
