In a rebase with --onto, the correct test for whether we can skip
rewriting a commit is if it is already on top of $ONTO, not $UPSTREAM.
Without --onto, this distinction does not exist and the behavior does
not change.
In a situation with two merged branches on a common base X:
X---o---o---o---M
\ /
x---x---x---x
Y
if we try to move the branches from their base on X to be based on Y,
so as to get
X
Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
\ /
x'--x'--x'--x'
then we fail. The command `git rebase -p --onto Y X M` moves only the
first-parent chain, like so:
X
\
x---x---x---x
\
Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
because it mistakenly drops the other branch(es) x---x---x---x from
the TODO file. This tests and fixes this behavior.
