-USAGE='<upstream> [<head>]'
+USAGE='[--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>]'
+LONG_USAGE='git-rebase applies to <upstream> (or optionally to <newbase>) commits
+from <branch> that do not appear in <upstream>. When <branch> is not
+specified it defaults to the current branch (HEAD).
+
+When git-rebase is complete, <branch> will be updated to point to the
+newly created line of commit objects, so the previous line will not be
+accessible unless there are other references to it already.
+
+Assuming the following history:
+
+ A---B---C topic
+ /
+ D---E---F---G master
+
+The result of the following command:
+
+ git-rebase --onto master~1 master topic
+
+ would be:
+
+ A'\''--B'\''--C'\'' topic
+ /
+ D---E---F---G master
