So to be explicit, I think you need to do this:

	- tell as many people as possible that you are going to rebase
	  your tree
	- reset your tree back to the point just before you pulled Casey's
	  tree (3f0cc6ae8662).
	- Casey needs to rebase his tree on top of yours
	- then after Casey has tested his tree again you can repull his
	  new tree.
