For rebase --onto two commits have to be selected: <newbase> and <upstream>. <upstream> is needed to determine the range of commits to be rebased onto <newbase>. A possible solution could be to add a new context menu entry to the history view and let the selected commit be the <newbase>. Then a UI would be opened where the user can select the range of commits which will be rebased onto <newbase>. The UI would contain all commits reachable from HEAD but not from <newbase>, selection of a commit would automatically select the range from the commit to HEAD. Example: A---B---C topic <HEAD> / D---E---F---G master I want to rebase B and C onto master, topic is checked out. On G I select "Rebase onto...". The a dialog opens where I see C B A I select B, the UI automatically selects the also C. Then I press a button "Rebase". The result will be A---B---C <ORIG-HEAD> / D---E---F---G master \ B'---C' topic <HEAD>
