[git] How do you rebase the current branch's changes on top of changes being merged in?

Okay. If I'm on a branch (say working), and I want to merge in the changes from another branch (say master), then I run the command git-merge master while on the working branch, and the changes get merged in without rebasing the history at all. If I run git-rebase master, then the changes in master are rebased to be put on the top of my working branch. But what if I want to merge in the changes from master but rebase my changes in working to be on top? How do I do that? Can it be done?

I could run git-rebase working on my master branch to put my changes on top in the master branch, but I'd like to be able to do that in my working branch, and I have no idea how. The closest that I can think of doing is creating a new branch from master and then rebase working's changes on top of that, but then I'd have a new branch instead of altering the working branch.

Another way to look at it is to consider git rebase master as:

Rebase the current branch on top of master

Here , 'master' is the upstream branch, and that explain why, during a rebase, ours and theirs are reversed.
