Hi Michael,

I had a similar problem (we are doing rebases instead of merges) and found a way
to rebase and push my changes onto the master without the need of a "checkout
master".

You can find my question and the approved (green) answer that works for me on
stackoverflow.com:

Maybe this works for you, too.

Ciao,
  Steffen
