The docs for the CLI and dashboard go into some more depth - might be what you're looking for?

Re `git rebase --onto`, the open source CLI offers a recursive implementation to prevent you from having to carefully rebase each branch in your stack (https://github.com/screenplaydev/graphite-cli/blob/main/src/...)

One of the reasons you cant use a simple rebase --onto is that you dont want to accidentally copy all downstack commits between the merge base and what you're restacking onto. The CLI tracks branch bases commits through git refs to ensure that restacking never duplicates commits.
