Reverting wont remove that history, thats a one way deal,
and I think if we revert the bogus merges with the wrong
history thats as good as its gona get.

Repository churn is my main concern.

It touches 6000+ files some of which have probably
been touched since.   A very carefull pre commit
audit would need to be done.

Then another commit to 6000+ files to put it back,
also needing a pre-commit audit. (Pretty easy now
that I have a filter.)
