Fix rebase -p --onto

In a rebase with --onto, the correct test for whether we can skip
rewriting a commit is if it is already on top of $ONTO, not $UPSTREAM.
Without --onto, this distinction does not exist and the behavior does
not change.

In a situation with two merged branches on a common base X:

 X---o---o---o---M
  \             /
   x---x---x---x

 Y

if we try to move the branches from their base on X to be based on Y,
so as to get

 X

 Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
  \             /
   x'--x'--x'--x'

then we fail.  The command `git rebase -p --onto Y X M` moves only the
first-parent chain, like so:

 X
  \
   x---x---x---x
                \
 Y---o'--o'--o'--M'

because it mistakenly drops the other branch(es) x---x---x---x from
the TODO file.  This tests and fixes this behavior.
