The *e-mail* is the least problem in this case: Your five individual
commits go on the permanent record.  If I'm not mistaken, the "push
history" isn't even preserved by git after the e-mail was sent - there's
only the commit history.  Right?

If they're truly only important to Sam, they should live in Sam's
repository, not in everyone's.  The whole point of a distributed SCM is
that this kind of thing is actually manageable, and pretty easily so.
