It appears to work for me. I still had to fix things up manually when
pulling the uncommit patch though, since you had made a minor change
in "uncommit.py":

  Pushing patch "uncommit"...Error: File "stgit/commands/uncommit.py" added in branches but different

Is there a way to make stgit not fall on its face when faced with this
situation? Surely it ought to be possible to create a merged file with
conflict markers? (I realize this is harder when there is no common
ancestor, but these files are 95% identical!)
