Thanks for the help, folks.  By the time I got to try the suggestions
though, they weren't much use.  Seems all my resets and reverts
had messed things up beyond recall.  All the suggested commands
just errored out.  Next time I need to do something similar, I'll try
them *first*!

In the end I just checked out the previous branch that this 
was cloned from, force-deleted the screwed one and recreated it,
and restored my editing from the backup.  I now have a clean commit
and patch.

Thanks for the link, Ryan.  I have done some reading up before, but
it's very easy to get that drowning feeling... I usually prefer to "learn
by doing", but here it was more like "undoing"! (:-/)  Loon's suggestion
of an experimental branch is probably a good one.

Thanks,
