Git: How to rebase to a specific commit?

Question

I\'d like to rebase to a specific commit, not to a HEAD of the other branch:

A --- B --- C          master
 \\
  \\-- D                topic

There is another way of doing it or if you wish to move back to more than just one commit.

Here is a an example to move back to n number of commits:

git branch topic master~n

For the sake of this question, this can also be done:

git branch topic master~1

The command works perfectly on git version 2.7.4. Haven't tested it on any other version.
