s/purposed/purpose

I suppose this is in response to my overloading the test with the 
destination tests (which I have corrected in a follow-up series to the 
original). It's fair, but to be honest, this warning will be much more 
effective at the bottom of the file than at the top. I'm not against it 
but I'm also not sure if it's worth it.

My reasoning for reusing the rebase-base test was that originally there 
was only one test case for the --dest changes I made, and it didn't pass 
any other flags, so it was implicitly using '--base .'. I figured it fit 
well enough to not add a whole new test.

As the test cases expanded, I moved them to their own file (in the 
series currently on this list for review). So, the "problem" (if it even 
was one) corrected itself.

My inclination is to decline this, but I'll let someone else do that if 
they agree.
