Keeping changes updated with master is not easy whether it is 
github or some other tool. If your branch and master both have 
changes you risk conflicts and those conflicts must be resolved.

If you have a fix for your branch, then fix it.

These are two separate operations and can be done independently 
of the other. If your branch can be merged cleanly then a rebase 
is not necessary; if it can't be merged cleanly you'll need to be 
in your dev environment. Having a UI do a rebase when it is clean 
for you might be nice, but it won't do you any good when real 
work is necessary (unless you want GitHub to be a full 
development environment).
