Can't you just disapprove the changes that added the new repository to  
them? My initial thoughts of how to fix this would be to grab those  
changes and move them into a new branch, and then disapprove them on the  
main branch.

So, if you have disapproved everything and the branch is clean again, you  
could rename the branch after this, and mark the old one as "dead" or  
whatever, right?
