Yes, I've just make the commands I recommended you and obtain the same
result.
I'm sure that the pull request won't affect the master in a bad way but for
your future references I will do this:
First I will rebuild including your change to do a quick test. It is is ok
(it will be) I would move to master and cherry pick your commit then I
would send a pull request for the commit you made and it will be
incorporated into master.

>From your side, I think that something has been made wrong when you cloned
the repository. Possibly your local master started up far from old commits
and when rebased needed to include all those commits.

So my suggestion is:
At github, remove your forked repository of Synfig. Then fork it again.
Then at local repository clone again the code in other folder and start to
code again from that folder.
Once you get the local and remote repositories clean, keep them in sync by
using git gui and gitk for most of the commands you can do. Please work in
features in named branches so we can get some tracking of the merging by
the name of the branch. Always try to do atomic commits that always build
(it is not recommendable to have one commit that doesn't build because it
makes difficult the later debugging). Start new features branches from
origin/master (or from local master if it is in sync with remote). If
origin/master grows up and you want to keep the feature branch always on
top of master to be easily merged, just do:

$ git checkout feature
$ git rebase origin/master
$ git push tsiouTsiou +feature

The '+' is needed to force overwrite your branch.
