Rebasing the master branch, i. e. the one I'll be pullung from?
Are you sure that is a good idea? Note that I (and probably others)
will be pulling from that branch, and not only once!
Quote from the git-rebase man page:
...
NOTES
When you rebase a branch, you are changing its history in a
way that will cause problems for anyone who already has a copy
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
of the branch in their repository and tries to pull updates
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
from you. You should understand the implications of using git
^^^^^^^^^
rebase on a repository that you share.

Best regards,
