git-rebase-patch(1) -- Rebases a patch

SYNOPSIS

git-rebase-patch <patch-file>

DESCRIPTION

Given you have a patch that doesn't apply to the current HEAD, but you know it
applied to some commit in the past, git-rebase-patch will help you find that
commit and do a rebase.

OPTIONS

  <patch-file>:
     The patch to be applied.

EXAMPLES

  Executing

    $ git rebase-patch test.patch

  could give you something like that:

    Trying to find a commit the patch applies to...
    Patch applied to dbcf408dd26 as 7dc8b23ae1a
    First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
    Applying: test.patch
    Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
    Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...
    Auto-merging README.txt

  Then your last commit has the changes of the patch and is named test.patch.
