How? I tried recreating the scenario from the article (the section "First rebase –onto") and ran the first rebase with "--update-refs":
$ git checkout feature-1
$ git rebase --update-refs main
Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/feature-1.
Updated the following refs with --update-refs:
refs/heads/feature-2-base
But all it did was update feature-2-base. It still left feature-2 pointing to the old commits. So I guess it automates "git branch -f feature-2-base feature-1" (step 3), but it doesn't seem to automate "git rebase --onto feature-1 feature-2-base feature-2" (step 2).
