Re: kernel cherry UN-picking?

So, I merge the next batch of net driver patches.  After I merge a PPP
patch, deep in the pile-o-patches, Andrew says "I shouldn't have sent
that to you, don't apply it"  ;-)

Right now, my process for reversing this damage is to start over:
create a new branch, manually double-click the mouse on each commit in
the "damaged" branch, and git-cherrypick it.  Very, very time
consuming when you have more than a couple commits.

Do the commits on the branch being rebuilt form a single strand
of pearls without any merges?  If that is the case, what I would
do is:

	git heckout thatbranch
	git format-patch -o ./+outdir linus
        rm ./+outdir/0XXX-that-unwanted-patch.patch
        git reset --hard linus
        git am ./+outdir/????-*.patch
