Allow upstream to be separate from onto in rebase

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a repo with history like this:

   • topicB
     |
   • topicA
     |
   • master

2. Check out topicB

3. Show Log...

4. Right-click master and Rebase 'topicB' onto this...

5. Attempt to rebase topicB onto master but exclude topicA

Normally, this would be done via 'git rebase --onto master topicA [topicB]'. I can't find an equivalent way to do this in TortoiseGit, since there doesn't seem to be any way to specify --onto as separate from the upstream in the Rebase dialog.

TortoiseGit 11.8.11.0, msysgit 1.9.0
what operating system? Windows 8.1

This is a feature request, as I did not find instructions how to do this in the Rebase help chapter. If this functionality already exists, please provide clarification on how to do it.
