You could do a fake merge (git merge -s ours) to include the old master branch in the history, so that from a Git perspective, it's again a fast-forward push. I'm more concerned that a standard git rebase will not produce great results, producing a history that contains the new upstream version with a bit of cruft on top of it, only some of it actually needed. But it is worth a try.
