If you merged the whole topic in at once, then you can use "git revert -m 1 $merge_commit" to undo the merge. If it came in individual pieces, then you have to revert each one individually (though if it was a series of merges, you can in theory revert each merge in reverse order). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
