I'm actually very glad that the current interface is the way it is - 
because it can do the rebase *without* the checkout. This way you can save 
a lot of recompilation due to changed timestamps if the topic is based on 
an old version.

Only that some (all?) variants of rebase still unnecessarily do the 
checkout...

Oh, and it would naturally extend to a master..topic syntax.
