Actually, I have a new set of files to replace the old which compile and run 
cleanly against master.

The simplest thing is probably to just delete the branch and start over.
I don't really want to keep that commit.

I had forgotten that git branches are ephemeral. We use mercurial where I work 
and deleting branches is not part of the normal workflow.
