No.  Where is rewinding discussed?  I see nothing relevant in dgit(1).

What do you actually mean by "rewind history"?  Is that a
well-established term for anything specific?

Yes.  The copyright REJECTs were because d/copyright had bugs, not
because the content is undistributable.  This seems like common
scenario.

Yeah, I don't see the point of force-pushing anything to Salsa to cover
up my mistakes.

I have tried with 14.8 now.  Naive attempt:

So a bit better error message, thank you!

Let's follow what I did earlier:

I can't say that I understand what happened, or why that didn't work,
but I changed approach:
