Recording which date/commit the main branch is currently based on

[nicoburns]

Would it be possible to update the rebase scripts to put the date (corresponding to the YYYY-MM-DD branch names) and/or the commit hash of the upstream base commit that the (that will become the main branch) is based on (possibly even making it a link). And perhaps the date at which the rebase itself took place too?

Currently it's quite hard to track where the new commits have come from when changes are synced from upstream.

Do you mean print it into the console or to put it into a commit message somewhere or perhaps something else?

Ah, apologies. It seems that part of the message got completely lost in the editing process.

My suggestion is it forms an automatically updated section of the README.
