gotcha.
well, that would work OK for maintainers, but would be kind of strange
for folks who are pulling from such a repository. how would that work?
my impression of git is that you don't change stuff that's already
committed. you revert changes by applying a new commit that backs out
the original changes. i'm speculating, but i suspect that's why there's
a "stg pick --reverse" and not a "stg uncommit."
