 OPTIONS

 <branch>::
 	Working branch; defaults to HEAD.
 
+--continue::

+--abort::
+	Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation.

+NOTES
+-----
+When you rebase a branch, you are changing its history in a way that
+will cause problems for anyone who already has a copy of the branch
+in their repository and tries to pull updates from you.  You should
+understand the implications of using 'git rebase' on a repository that
+you share.
+
+When the git rebase command is run, it will first execute a "pre-rebase"
+hook if one exists.  You can use this hook to do sanity checks and
+reject the rebase if it isn't appropriate.  Please see the template
+pre-rebase hook script for an example.
+
+You must be in the top directory of your project to start (or continue)
+a rebase.  Upon completion, <branch> will be the current branch.
