I'm planning on moving the current master to "broken-master", doing a hard
reset of master back before the missing commit, then letting it catch up to svn
trunk again.  The broken-master branch would not be updated after it was made. 
I'll send a warning on IRC before making this change.

On the client side, you'd also want to create a local "broken-master" branch
(maybe connecting it via remote tracking branch), do a hard reset of your
master branch to before the missing commit, then re-pull from git.webkit.org.

After that comes the hard part of deciding whether to migrate existing branches
from broken-master to master, or just leaving them as-is.  Please update this
bug with any helpful techniques you find while doing this.
