Some details might be missing because the I think the fix is obvious.

As the owner of a series branch I have mistakenly committed files and
pushed to lp. I uncommitted, then reverted the changes locally, the
pushed the branch using the overwrite option. The file is not in the
revision history. Eg.

lp:gdp
maps the to current series, which has the my branch
lp:~sinzui/gdp/trunk
I have a local copy, but I could have pulled it back down
cd trunk
bzr uncommit
bzr revert
bzr push --overwrite

Several uncommits and reverts may be needed to pop the stack.
