Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

NAME

|
|
git-revert - Revert an existing commit
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git revert' [--edit | --no-edit] [-n] [-m parent-number] [-s] <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 linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
-e::
|
|
--edit::
|
|
With this option, `git-revert` will let you edit the commit
|
|
message prior to committing the revert. This is the default if
|
|
you run the command from a terminal.
|
|
|
|
-m parent-number::
|
|
--mainline parent-number::
|
|
Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which
|
|
side of the merge should be considered the mainline. This
|
|
option specifies the parent number (starting from 1) of
|
|
the mainline and allows revert to reverse the change
|
|
relative to the specified parent.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--signoff::
|
|
Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
