[PATCH] doc/rebase: extend examples to show continuing branches

From: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>

Currently, all of the examples for "man git-rebase" show rebasing from a branch that has had no further development, which might mislead readers into thinking that that is a necessary condition for rebasing, so tweak the examples to show further development on such a branch to clarify that.
