Please do not push anything to the master branch or perform any merge
requests until I push the rebase the master branch to prevent any commit
losses because forcing a push will wipe out any changes.  I ran the git
command suggested by Simon and it seems to have the desired results but
I have no idea how this is going to play out so I'm making a backup
clone of master just in case things go sideways.  I'll ping everyone
once I have pushed the rebase.  Thank you for your cooperation and I
apologize for whatever pain and agony this causes.  Hopefully we will
never make this mistake again.

Cheers,

Wayne
