8 git commit-tree is the better way. Sometimes it is neccessary to
9 rewrite public history, but this is not one of those times.
10
11 Whenever it is not absolutely neccessary, it's better to do something
12 else on the branch than rewrite it - unless the branch is well known
13 to be rewritten (like a testing branch might be).
14
15 catalyst master is not a testing branch and shouldn't be rewritten.
16
17 William, please go with Sebastian's suggestion.
