Top half: A trolley approaches a fork in the tracks. One track has a single person tied down, and the other has five people tied down. A person stands by a lever that can switch the trolley between tracks.

Message:

$ git rebase master
Successfully rebased and updated ref

Lower half: The two tracks are merged into one, with all six people tied down together on the same track while the trolley heads toward them. The person remains by the lever.

@feliks @davidgerard thanks, I am now imagining a game with a maze of railroad tracks and hostages, and the player has to type the correct git invocations to save the hostages from trains entering the switchyard with ever increasing frequency. There is a peppy 8-bit era soundtrack. Can I go on the track, instead?
