Hi, I just merged the pull request for AES_ENCRYPT [1], which required a little bit of manual work to complete the merge. I thought everything

well, except the commit history [2] looks strange to me. Would someone
mind
double-checking that I didn't inadvertently do something wrong? I pretty much followed the GitHub instructions, but this is the first time I've
done
a merge where I committed back to the project repository rather than my private one, so I'm a bit extra cautious.
Thanks

Hi Isaac, indeed it looks strange. I would say that you merged master into his feature branch before merging back to master.
Thanks. In the interest of not making this worse, I think the right thing to do is git revert 16febdb. That will take me back to the last commit before my mistake, "There should be message variable as well". Then I have to commit and push that revert. Then I can redo the ayusun merge correctly. I just want to make positively sure that I do the revert correctly.
After a bit more testing, I think the even better response is to git reset --hard 16feb and push that change. One part of the git documentation suggests one, another part suggests the other. I'm not clear on what the differences are.
The problem is that when I do a git diff and git status to make sure of what I'm about to push, it looks right...but then again, it also did when I messed things up.
Any opinions?
