# [PATCH] Documentation: reword rebase summary 3 messages from 2016-03-01 to 2016-03-01. Participants: Stefan Beller, Jacob Keller, Kevin Daudt. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/41588 ## Stefan Beller, 2016-03-01 22:49 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: reword rebase summary Message-ID: <1456872598-32571-1-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1456872598-32571-1-git-send-email-sbeller%40google.com ``` The wording is introduced in c3f0baaca (Documentation: sync git.txt command list and manual page title, 2007-01-18), but rebase has evolved since then, capture the modern usage by being more generic about the rebase command in the summary.
