There's also `git rebase --onto`, which effectively does the reverse - you tell git you've already rebased the part of this branch that overlapped with the "intermediate" branch, and it just needs to take care of the rest.

Oh that sounds exactly what I need to simplify the workflow I described for the multi-PR use case. I'm going to try that out today, I just happen to have a use case for it ready to go :)

Wow, I knew of neither of these, thank you!

I'll have to take some time to experiment with both and make sure I understand howt hey work and any pitfalls!

I am definitely in the crowd that thinks git UX is pretty unintuitive and challenging, despite having used it for over a decade!

These sound like great plumbing for a github-style web UI that actually facilitates multi-step sequence PR's though...
