nothing to commit (working directory clean)

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

git rebase --onto test-branch HEAD^
fatal: Needed a single revision
Does not point to a valid commit: 
: curtis@rook ~/code/LOCI/scifio (develop)
git branch test-branch
: curtis@rook ~/code/LOCI/scifio (develop)
git rebase --onto test-branch HEAD^
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Fast-forwarded develop to test-branch.
