that will not work, because in the master branch I already have around 15 commits after the bogus commit and I want to keep these commits.

And in some other branches there are tons of commits (over 100) after the bogus commit with the merge and I only want to remove that bogus commit but keep all other commits after the bogus commit (all commits are not related to the bogus one, they are all in different files).

It is even fine if I could remove the bogus commit from all branches.

Bye Matthias
