    That’s a good explanation of what it’s supposed to do. That was how I understood it as well.

    But anytime I’ve tried it, I’ve ended up with conflicts where there shouldn’t be (like, I already solved that conflict when I merged earlier) and/or completely undesirable results in the end (for instance, some of my changes are just NOT in the result).

    So I just gave up on the whole feature. Simpler to just merge the source branch into mine.

      Depending on how structured your commits have been, it can either be very difficult to get a rebase through or a complete breeze. There are some features to make it easier - rerere being the main one I’m thinking about.
