I was not talking about _your_ case specifically. If you happen to have based your partial history on top of a single commit then the set of "such and such commits" might be only one, but you could for example clone from Linus tip, merge in a couple of jgarzik branch heads, put your own commits on top of them and then cauterize your history, stopping at those foreign commits. In such a case you obviously need to tell others where you chopped your history off.
