OK.  So ...

 - I'll tentatively eject both topics out of my tree,

 - Julia will send in a replacement that does not add gittutorial-2
   to the command-list, which will be merged to 'next',

 - and then your topic will be queued again with an evil merge (by
   me) to add gittutorial-2 back to the command-list file.

... and both topics will be happy?
