A fellow developer apparently made a serious mistake with git, putting
most of the changes from master branch into the so-called stable "2.7"
branch.

Because of the seriousness of this mistake, I have to "rewind" the
history of the branch.  This means that if you have ongoing work in the
2.7 branch, you will need to take extra care not to reintroduce these
unwanted commits from master branch yourself.

Please review these docs
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#_recovering_from_upstream_rebase

and (as I apparently failed to do) use tools like gitk and git log to
visualize what you are about to push before you do so.

Please ask on IRC if you have any questions or concerns, we can walk you
through the necessary steps.  Seb, Cradek and I should all be able to
give appropriate advice for individual cases.

This appears to have occurred back on 2015-11-22 with the commit:
    2e604ba docs: dont have two copies of the project history
there aren't any subsequent pushes to 2.7 (except a merge-up of 2.6)
since that time.  I will be rewinding the branch to this commit from
2015-11-23:
    4ec9418 Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/2.6' into 2.7
