You should apply your change to the state of Greg's tree, not the state
after your patch.

Assuming that you have committed both the patch adding the new line and
the patch changing the macro to a function, and have made no other
changes, you can do git rebase -i HEAD~2 and the put a d at the beginning
of the line related to the patch adding the newline.  If you have made
more changes, you can adapt the HEAD~ part accordingly.
