If you commit something to your own private repository, you can then
rebase relative to plt/master, and then the bogus commit won't show up
(or rather, whatever the result of the rebase is will show up, which
can differ arbitrarily).

Once you commit to the main repository, though, history-rewriting is disallowed.

Does that answer your question?
