Yes, that was the case - the big files were committed in my first
push. They show as being deleted in a later commit, but that seems to
not have worked. What's disturbing is that on github the branch
doesn't exist at all.

I ran git rebase as you suggested and it brought up a file in vi with
a list of commits and commands. Wasn't sure exactly what it wanted me
to do, so I put e (for edit) in front of the commit I wanted to edit.
When I exited vi I got:
fatal: Needed a single revision
Invalid commit name: pick
I tried to do it again and got:
It seems that there is already a rebase-merge directory, and
I wonder if you are in the middle of another rebase. If that is the
case, please try
git rebase (--continue | --abort | --skip)
If that is not the case, please
rm -fr "/usr/local/motor/motor/.git/rebase-merge"
and run me again. I am stopping in case you still have something
valuable there.
I tried rebase --continue and got:
error: could not apply 7593c5b... first working unit test
When you have resolved this problem, run "git rebase --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git rebase --skip" instead.
To check out the original branch and stop rebasing, run "git rebase --abort".
Could not apply 7593c5b... first working unit test
Then I did git rebase --abort and got:
No rebase in progress?
If I now do a status it says I'm 'Not currently on any branch' and it
shows 3 files as 'deleted by us' - these are not the big files and are
not files I want to delete. If I try and switch to another branch I
git:
error: you need to resolve your current index first
How do I get out of this mess now and at least back to where I was
before. I need to switch branches to work on something else.

Yes, I did that 2 days ago and I did not get any response.
Thanks!
