This requires your working tree to be clean (no +modifications from the HEAD commit). + +OPTIONS +------- +<commit>:: + Commit to revert. + +-n:: + Usually the command automatically creates a commit with + a commit log message stating which commit was reverted. + This flag applies the change necessary to revert the + named commit to your working tree, but does not make the + commit. In addition, when this option is used, your + working tree does not have to match the HEAD commit. + The revert is done against the beginning state of your + working tree. + + This is useful when reverting more than one commits' + effect to your working tree in a row. + + +Author +------ +Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the link:git.html[git] suite + |
