reset local and try merging again.

 ### Commentary:
 
 ## Automatically merge the Emacs release branch to master.
-## No warranty, etc.
+## If the merge succeeds, optionally build and test the results,
+## and then push it.
+## Intended usage:
+## Have a dedicated git directory just for this.
+## Have a cron job that does a hard reset (to clean up after any
+## previous failures), then a git pull, then calls this script with -p.
