This is not a problem. Rewritten history will have different commit
hashes, and once a trusted copy of the repo is uploaded, e.g., from
Walter's local copy, it will become very obvious which commits have been
tampered with. In fact, just replace the repo with Walter's (or some
other trusted person's) version, and the tampered commits can be simply
discarded.
