Chris,
By a "bunch of revisions" what exactly do you mean? Many revisions
which were the result of a merge? Or simply many changes made
directly to the file (not the result of a merge)?

Any luck? I should have asked this out of the gate (though I'm sure I
know the answer): Is your repos public? Obviously the most direct
route to replicating this would be with a copy of your actual data :-)
