My reaction: 
 o Don't know about that, let's look it up.
 o Try "man rebaseall" in CygWin shell. No luck.
 o Try searching Windows 2003 Help. No luck.
 o Google search turns up people who are complaining
 about using it or announcing changes to it.
 o Now clear that it is a CygWin package distributed
 as "rebase"
 o Verified that "rebase 2.4.2-1" is installed on my box.
 o Try "man rebase" in CygWin shell. No luck.
 o Try looking in online CygWin UG: Not mentioned
 in the TOC.
 o Download PDF of user's guide and search for "rebase"
 and "rebaseall". No hits?
 o Can't find a "search this site" button on the CygWin
 web site. Could have sworn there was one.
 o "rebase --help" produces a one-liner just describing
 the argument syntax without explanation.
 o "rebaseall --help" produces a couple of sentences
 telling me to shut down things before using it,
 but again, not what it's used for.

I'd like to look into this, but how?
