Yah, I figured that out. I'm used to projects where I work with much
smaller groups. Anyway, I believe I've done the right reversal
commit. It would be useful if someone could double check my work --
I'm pretty exhausted and though I was quite careful I may have missed
a revision or two on either end by accident.

And let me just say, git's UI is horrible. Yes, we're stuck with it
forever because the tooling is too good, but when you have to deal
with something like this and you don't use those commands every day
it's hair raising.
