I was not sure if that is even a good idea, and I am now
inclined to think that keeping the failed attempt history is
probably better than potentially causing confusion to people who
follow 'next'.  But it _is_ a possibility to reset 'next' to
'master'.

And what is the advantage of doing that, exactly?

Not much and that is why I am not sure if that is a good idea,
but one thing is:

	$ git log master..next
	$ git log --no-merges master..next

would start showing what are still pending in next without
noise.

Of course, you could graft a fake relationship there. Something like

echo $(git rev-parse master master^ next) >> .git/info/grafts

should do. And you can do it _locally_, since all you care about is the 
higher-level relationship that _you_ know about. And this is the way to 
teach Git about it.

In case you did not get it, making the above usable is not about _me_.
