From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

There is already a 'rebase' mode with `--onto`. Let's add an 'advance' or
'cherry-pick' mode with `--advance`. This new mode will make the target
branch advance as we replay commits onto it.

The replayed commits should have a single tip, so that it's clear where
the target branch should be advanced. If they have more than one tip,
this new mode will error out.
