title: git rebase from a url/path
body: <p>Why can I not <code>rebase</code> from the same location that I can <code>pull</code>?  For example, if I am in a pository I can pull from another repository:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git pull /path/to/other
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I cannot rebase from that other repository; the following fails:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git rebase /path/to/other
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The help for <code>rebase</code> doesn't mention any refspec's, so I don't know how, or even if, I can/should specify them.</p>
  
  <p>How can I <code>rebase</code> from a different location?</p>
