It is the "you might be forgetting that 'rebase' is a tool to rebase a single branch, and is not a tool to replay a history on a commit" example.

The "multi-pick" variant of "git cherry-pick" probably has a lot more affinity with the idea of specifying general sub-graph of history to be replayed, expressed in the "externded SHA-1" syntax, I would think.

Thanks.
