i hope rob doesn't mind my replying to his personal note from a
while back and CC'ing the list, since there's a bit more here than
meets the eye, and i wanted to make sure i was presenting it fairly.
the problem was, having added, say, 5 linear commits to a branch (A,
B, C, D, E):
... X <--

ASIDE: i know of several ways to do this, i'm just wondering if
there's a particularly elegant way i haven't thought of.
SCENARIO: most recent 5 commits on a clean, linear history branch:
... X <--- A <--- B <--- C <--- D <--- E (HEAD)
