Olá a todos, A reversão terminou e foi um sucesso. Ao contrário do que anteriormente estipulei, o trabalho todo foi dividido em apenas cinco changesets. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
O processo em si demorou cinco horas e meia a ser realizado. A maior parte deste feita entre as 02h30 e as 8h00 sendo que o changeset final (que consistia em 147 objetos) foi realizado às 12h05. Agora e durante os próximos dias irei procurar por erros ou dados que tenham ficado danificados. Também queria avisar que o único problema que surgiu desta reversão foi que alguns elementos de uma pequena cidade grega foram alterados. [6] A razão para tal acontecer foi mais provavelmente porque inseri erroneamente um changeset durante o processo de reversão.
