Whenever I’m doing a git rebase and have to figure out what “current” vs “incoming” means

From the Simpson, bart is pressing a button on an animatronic bear similar to Smokey Bear: “Only who can prevent forest fires? You have selected “you”, referring to me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is you.”
