Alternatively (to what Marek discussed), as you mention patches, you can use the "patch" command itself to revert a specific patch using its "-R" command-line option. That is, if you applied a patch foo.patch $ patch -p1 </tmp/foo.patch and then decided it was a mistake, revert it by $ patch -R -p1 </tmp/foo.patch (If you used `git apply`, the same holds, as it also supports the -R option with the same meaning.) Note that if was not the last patch in a series of applied patches, it might not revert cleanly. In this case you might want to do what Marek shown to reset the working directory and start from scratch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
