OK, so I am sitting here with a branch containing a patch I have sent 
for review, and that I need to revise, but somebody else has pushed a 
revision upstream. Which of the 4 'Download' commands do I use to 
replace my commit with the latest one from upstream?

(Hint: it's a trick question)

Now imagine it wasn't the last patch in the series.

(P.S. without testing, I believe the correct answers are `git reset 
--hard FETCH_HEAD` and `git rebase HEAD~<patch_depth> --onto FETCH_HEAD` 
respectively.)
