git rebase result

It was my first try to understanding how git rebase is working. I was on new branch did a lot of changes and then I'd try git rebase, and in result I got next output:

$ git rebase master
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...

    var crt_div = document.getElementById('create_form');

    var appl_div = document.getElementById('create_letter');

Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...

And i don't understand it was successfully made ? it was rebased or merged ? what was happend ? how I can see those warnings ?

When you do a rebase, git will take a bunch of commits, and try to apply the change that each of those introduced in turn. (In other words, it's like a series of uses of git cherry-pick.) Each of those re-applications may use git's merge machinery to try to resolve any conflicts that might arise by re-applying a change onto a new parent.

So, yes, you have just done a rebase, but each step of the rebase may involve using git's code for doing a merge.

The "trailing whitespace" warnings are there to tell you that applying the change added some lines with whitespace at the end. git is sensitive about this (apparently since it can cause problems for patches sent by email) and will warn you about such whitespace in various situations. The "squelched" errors are just saying that that rather than print out hundreds of such warnings, it's squelched them down to one line.
