All branches are examined to find their upstream references\&. The correct set of git remotes is determined, and fetched accordingly\&. Note that if any branches have a tag as their upstream, we are forced to pull all remotes\&.
If you\(cqd like to rebase all rebaseable branches in one pass and manually process the unrebaseable ones later, use \-k or \-\-keep\-going\&. Cleanup will not happen until all branches apply cleanly\&.
Once all the branches have been rebased, any empty branches (i\&.e\&. branches with no commits on them) are removed\&. If a branch is removed in this fashion, any branches which depend on it are reparented to the parent of the removed branch (see
When \fBgit rebase\-update\fR first runs, it will record the current branch here so that when it completes successfully, it will return back to the same branch you started on, even if \fBgit rebase\-update\fR is interrupted due to rebase conflicts\&. When \fBgit rebase\-update\fR completes successfully, this configuration variable is removed\&.
If \fBtrue\fR, will cause rebase\-update to skip all processing on the branch\&. Useful for old/high\-conflict branches which you want to keep for posterity, but don\(cqt want to deal with when running \fBgit rebase\-update\fR
Holds the \fIbase\fR reference for this branch\&. By default this is equivalent to \fBgit merge\-base <name> <name>@{upstream}\fR\&. However, it can diverge if \fB<name>@{upstream}\fR is manually rebased\&. In this case, it correctly preserves the value it had before, where \fBgit merge\-base\fR would now report the wrong value\&.
All of the tools in the \fBdepot_tools\fR(1) suite collude to keep this value as up\-to\-date as possible, including \fBgit-reparent-branch\fR(1), and \fBgit-new-branch\fR(1)\&. \fBgit-map\fR(1) also shows the location of these marker values in \fBwhite\fR\&.

\fBgit-mark-merge-base\fR(1) allows easy manual interaction for this value, in the unlikely event that it gets out of sync\&.
