we can't force push into master. That would be a problem for all users
already on latest master, as their repository state becomes invalid.
I'm also not sure how the github <-> asf sync infrastructure would take
it. We should have very good reasons to change history for a public
branch, which I would only see for security issues.

I suggest to revert the commit with the normal git mechanic (revert
commit references reverted commit, possible adding a reasoning). After
that a cleaned version can be applied.
