If your origin/master is only forwarding (i.e. never rebased), you can do
without the <x>-base branch, as it will always point somewhere into the
history of origin/master.
Git is smart enough so "git rebase origin/master <x>" will do the right thing.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
