Hi

One of the goal of the Green Tree Task Force was to make reverting a change
easy and fast.

This is really important to keep the tree green and open. The old saying
is "Revert now, think later"... If a change broke the build and the fix
would
take more than 1 or 2 minutes to be committed, or if the committer is not
answering pings, then the change needs to be reverted asap.

Turns out it was already easy and fast with Anthony's drover tool.

If you have depot_tools in your path, just type :

*drover --revert XXXX*

where XXXX is the revision you want to revert.

Since the tool creates temporary files, I suggest you go to the temp
directory first.

It should take only a few seconds, even for a really big change. You don't
even need
to have a chrome checkout on your machine.

This tool should work on all platforms. You need svn 1.5 or above in your
path.

If you run into any issues with the tool, please let me know.

Thank you,

Nicolas

If the tool does not work, you can revert the long way by doing:
cd src/
svn update
svn merge -c -XXXX .
(the dot at the end of the previous line is important)
