You mean do a "git reset --hard" locally and then "git push" the
modified history? This is not ideal, but if you're the only one using
the repository, and if there was no Debian release containing the code
you're reverting, then I'd say it's OK.

Sorry, I don't the answer to this one.

While rebasing the patch-queue, there was a conflict with one of the
files. A conflict happens when you have two distinct versions of the
same file containing modifications that are not trivial to be
automatically merged by git. The conflict is marked above as:
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in src/depend.py
You now have to resolve this conflict before proceeding. Basically,
open the file and look for the conflict markers, which look like:
<<< HEAD
some content
===
some other content
>>> some-branch
You will then have to decide how to resolve this, either by deleting one
of the changes, or by adapting them, etc. Once you resolve all of the
conflicts, you will be able to perform a "git rebase --continue". Note
that you may encounter many conflicts while rebasing.
Thanks,
