The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by almost every tool. Unfortunately it is only documented in git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-revert - Revert an existing commit
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-revert' [--edit | --no-edit] [-n] <commit>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Given one existing commit, revert the change the patch introduces, and record a
|
|
new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be clean (no
|
|
modifications from the HEAD commit).
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<commit>::
|
|
Commit to revert.
|
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell commit names, see
|
|
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
-e|--edit::
|
|
With this option, `git-revert` will let you edit the commit
|
|
message prior committing the revert. This is the default if
|
|
you run the command from a terminal.
|
|
|
|
--no-edit::
|
|
With this option, `git-revert` will not start the commit
|
|
message editor.
|
|
|
|
-n|--no-commit::
|
|
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.
