Git work with a tree of commits, you need to write down the SHA of the commit rather than the number. `release-0.3` and `v0.3.X` works because we have a branch named `release-0.3` and tags named `v0.3.0`, `v0.3.1` and `v0.3.2` that points to the correct commits.
There are numerous Git tutorials online, and if you want to be involved in any collaborative coding I'd strongly recommend that you spend some time to learn to be friends with git, rather than trying to fight it. Your time will be well spent. kl. 18:57:23 UTC+1 tirsdag 4. november 2014 skrev Ivar Nesje følgende: > > You need to do > > git checkout c1fd3ab4edefcd7194 > > > kl. 16:24:54 UTC+1 tirsdag 4. november 2014 skrev Charles Santana følgende: >> >> Dear list, >> >> I am trying to downgrade my julia installation to the version >> 0.4.0-dev+734.
