For the record, here's the exact message for a rebase:

$ git rebase origin
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: patch1
Applying: patch2
Applying: patch3
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...
error: Your local changes to '<path>/<filename>' would be overwritten by

Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Failed to merge in the changes.

The exact command to update the index is "git diff".
