* doc: correct a mistake in an illustrationks/fix-rebase-doc-pictureKaartic Sivaraam2017-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first illustration of the "RECOVERING FROM UPSTREAM REBASE" section in the 'git-rebase' documentation meant to depict that there are number of commits on the 'master' branch, but it is longer than the 'master' branch in the following illustrations by one commit, even though there is no resetting of 'master' to lose that commit. Correct it. Signed-off-by: Kaartic Sivaraam <kaarticsivaraam91196@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

But this is not clear from the document. These changes hint the user to keep reading (to option #5) instead of stopping at #2 and assuming --patch/--interactive behaves the same way. And since all the options listed here always mention how the index is involved (or not) in the final commit, add that bit for #5 as well. This "on top of the index" is implied when you head over git-add(1), but if you just go straight to the "Interactive mode" and not read what git-add is for, you may miss it.
