Actually, combing them is what I wanted it to do, but move them around was 
what it actually does. The name "rebase" is actually very descriptive of what 
it does once you get the hang of it.

And I have (at last!), but it was a bit more involved than just 
doing "rebase" - see the "complete" recipe further down the mail thread.

To be honest, it was a lot more involved than I thought it would be - *not* 
recommended unless your branch's history is mostly linear!

Moving them around also "breaks" branches and checkouts. But it's not a big 
deal to me at the moment.
