With mentor approval, I commit r347469.  I start getting email about

I whip up a patch to undo that part of r347469, and ask for mentor
approval.  Meanwhile, mentor authorizes me in email to revert r347469.

I try apply applying the fix-patch, and get email that it was rejected
for lack of reviewer.  In retrospect, it seems to have been committed
anyway as r347472.

Thinking that things are still broken, I do what my mentor pre-approved
earlier and revert back to before r347469.  A patch to redo r347469,
without _Generic(), awaits mentor approval.

Ugh...  a rather elegant interaction ;)

I realize that breaking the build and then committing without mentor
approval in my first week as committer isn't a good beginning.   Sorry
about that.

It's probably not official policy but I would think you don't need mentor approval to revert a change, assuming things return to the pre-commit state, especially if it broke the build.

Pedro.
