Hello all,

I have recently come across an issue in my RPi::WiringPi distribution (version 2.3632). Somehow, through all of the testing I do before I create a release, I missed an issue in a test file which breaks installation.

Now, since then, I've made dozens of updates in my repository across two new trial versions (2.3633_01, which is released to CPAN, and 2.3633_02, which hasn't been uploaded). Is there an effective, safe way that I can fix this issue in a branch based off of the release commit and re-publish it as 2.3632, which is the current valid version which is installed via cpan/cpanm?

I'd rather not have my VCS logs all out of whack and having to change Changes and other things if possible. In PAUSE, under the Utils menu, I came across a "Reset Version" option which looks like it'll do what I want, but I've never used this feature and am hoping that there's someone here has, and can provide some guidance.

Thanks,

-stevieb
