Since this happened, I've been working out what state my tree is in,
and I restored it back to a state where I had one dangling commit head,
which was _my_ head.
I then checked whether my objects matched the objects which I uploaded
to master.kernel.org, and discovered I'd removed some extra ones. With
them restored, I have an additional dangling commit.
Now, I'm pretty sure that I had an up to date tree when I did the
original commits, so I'm a little confused.
What I'm seeing is:

+- dc90c0db0dd5214aca5304fd17ccd741031e5493 <-- extra dangling head

+- df4449813c900973841d0fa5a9e9bc7186956e1e <-- my head
It's very much like I somehow committed against the _parent_ of the
head, rather than the head itself.
However, I've lost the state that this tree was in when I did the initial
commit, so who knows why this happened... I think it's something to
keep an eye out for though.
