["Reece R. Pollack" <reece@xxxxxxx>]

I wanted to create a symbol for the Diodes Inc DMN3300U transistor in my 
private library name "MyParts". Here's what I did:

1. I attempted to follow the instructions in the eeschema documentation
   section 11.4.1 to transfer the 2N7002 part from the Transistor_FET
   library to MyParts, renaming it in the process, but the procedure
   doesn't work.
2. I decided to load the 2N7002 part from the Transistor_FET library,
   export the part as a file in /tmp, then import it into MyParts, but
   it also copied the 2N7002 and BSS138 parts.
3. I deleted the imported components.
4. I attempted to revert the change entirely. I got a warning that
   reverting was not undo-able, and I said OK. (Everything I care about
   is backed up in a GIT repo on a server.)
5. Kaboom! Okay, no kaboom. An "assertion failed" dialog box.

Don't freak out trying to find the referenced commit in git. I made a 
minor mod to pcbnew on a private branch, so there's a new commit id. 
Here's the last common commit:
