Because Paul had to redo his tree; you're no longer able to 'pull' his
changes into your branch.  If you've got changes that you need to
preserve; then you need to either generate a diff between Paul's old
HEAD and your HEAD; then apply that to a new branch based of Paul's
new HEAD.

Or; you can create a new branch based on the new HEAD and
'git-cherry-pick' your changes into it.

Either way, it can be rather painful.

Cheers,
g.
