Note, that in general rewriting history in this way is a hinderance to the review process and this

## Triggering CI re-run without making changes

Sometimes CI test runs fail due to obvious resource problems or other issues
which are not related to your PR. It may be desirable to re-trigger CI without
making any code changes. Consider adding an alias into your `.gitconfig` file:

```
[alias]
kick-ci = !"git commit -s --allow-empty -m 'Kick CI' && git push"
```

Once you add this alias you can issue the command `git kick-ci` and the PR
will be sent back for a retest.
