Oh, I think I understand now.  Because I had merged some commits from
my branch to master before, the rebase caused those to be reapplied
again at the end.  Clearly that rebase was a mistake.  I'm learning.

So I think the right way to make this work smoothly for everyone is
for me to cherry-pick the commits since the previous merge to master.
I have not done that before, but I'm reading the Pro Git book for
reference.

I can do for-v3.3 right after completing the merge into master, right?
I recall Mark's request for people to take care of this so he doesn't
have to.
