	If you can update to a version whose ancestry includes your changes,  
then those changes are there.  Anyone who's cloned the tree would  
notice if you tried to rewrite history somewhere and pass it off as  
their upstream.

	Sounds like you might be fighting an uphill battle, though.  Good luck.
