git can get confused about if a commit was merged or not.

You have to revert the revert before re-merging the branch. Otherwise git keeps track of the commits that you reverted and doesn't apply them ever again.

See: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/howto/revert-a-faulty-merge.txt

Thanks for the info, I think that's exactly what we didn't do.
