Hmmm...more like this:

git revert 41bb73eeac5ff5fb217257ba33b654747b3abf11
git revert b23f99bcfa12c7b452f7ad201ea5921534d4e9ff
git revert 71c11fb57b924c160297ccd9e1761db598d00ac2
git revert 4607816f608b42a5379aca97ceed08378804c99f
git revert a57a59f247b651e8ed6d3eeb7e2f9d83b83134c9
 
This first one has a conflict -- just take the hunk.
