If I remember correctly, I think I did the commit, but forgot to push,
till the next day. Once I got into the merge commit, my lack of git
expertise meant I couldn't work out how to get out of it again.

Mostly I develop with feature branches, so don't normally get this
problem. Ah well, live and learn.
