rebase: use reflog to find common base with upstream
Commit 15a147e (rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified, 2011-02-09) says: Make it default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what 'git pull [--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that 'git rebase' defaults to the same thing. but that isn't actually the case. Since commit d44e712 (pull: support rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19), pull has actually chosen the most recent reflog entry which is an ancestor of the current branch if it can find one. Add a '--fork-point' argument to git-rebase that can be used to trigger this behaviour. This option is turned on by default if no non-option arguments are specified on the command line, otherwise we treat an upstream specified on the command-line literally.
