Ok, I see.

Guessed correctly, though I usually just "git pull --rebase".

Yes, I'll do so.

Yes, that seems to be the best solution for how I'm used to work.

No, not the first time. I usually just edit, then review/commit with
`vc-dir', and then "bzr push" in a console. Up to now, I was just lucky
that nobody pushed in between.

I simply uncommitting my 3 top-most commits which left me in a state
where the original change I wanted to do was the only change in my
working copy. So I could just commit them again and push.
Thanks for the help, Eli!
