Hello -

Yesterday I needed to revert back a commit involving 2 files to its parent
commit.
The working copy was at the tip (1255785c96) and I needed to get back to
revision 4002407825.
When I tried running "fossil revert -r 4002407825" I got the following
error:

fossil: the --revision option does not work for the entire tree

What did the trick was "fossil merge --backout 1255785c96" which is
strange, since this is not a merge.
The timeline UI for this particular repo shows a straight line graph.

Shouldn't the 'revert' command act the way I was looking for? The help
message does state
"Revert all files if no file name is provided." What am I missing?

Thanks,
Arnel

PS: Apologies if you've received this before. I sent this out to the list
yesterday but I don't see it
listed in the Fossil ML archives.
