That is hardly a reason to rebase your tree. Just add another commit to
correct the situation. The tree as it stood would not have affected
anyone's building, running or bisecting.

And why do I now have three versions of your tree? The one in linux-next
on Friday, the one in linux-next today, and the one you asked Linus to
pull.

I hope you don't have any developers trying to develop stuff based on
your tree :-(

And yes, this is a rhetorical question, just trying to get you to think
about your process.
