Thanks for the recipe. (And thanks to all others who responded.)
That still leaves me wondering how I get that out to my public git
repo without someone resetting it on the server. Or do I have the
ability to clean out the old stuff at:
ssh://git(at)git(dot)postgresql(dot)org/users/kgrittn/postgres.git
so that I can push the result of the above to it cleanly?
