A little follow up context:

I used the "git gui citool".  I saw a button to allow an amendment to a
previous checkin.  That seemed most appropriate, so I did that.  I had
previously pushed the commit to the sourceforge repository, so my guess
was that pushing would amend the checkin at sourceforge, too.  Nope.
Won't let me push.  Won't tell me why, either.  Now what?  Thanks.
