426 them. This requires your working tree to be clean (no modifications
427 from the HEAD commit).
</p></div>
428 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Note:
<em>git revert
</em> is used to record some new commits to reverse the
429 effect of some earlier commits (often only a faulty one). If you want to
430 throw away all uncommitted changes in your working directory, you
431 should see
<a href=
"git-reset.html">git-reset(
1)
</a>, particularly the
<em>--hard
</em> option. If
432 you want to extract specific files as they were in another commit, you
433 should see
<a href=
"git-checkout.html">git-checkout(
1)
</a>, specifically the
<tt>git checkout
434 <commit
> --
<filename
></tt> syntax. Take care with these alternatives as
435 both will discard uncommitted changes in your working directory.

446 For a more complete list of ways to spell commit names, see
447 <a href=
"gitrevisions.html">gitrevisions(
7)
</a>.
448 Sets of commits can also be given but no traversal is done by
449 default, see
<a href=
"git-rev-list.html">git-rev-list(
1)
</a> and its
<em>--no-walk
</em>
461 With this option,
<em>git revert
</em> will let you edit the commit
462 message prior to committing the revert. This is the default if
463 you run the command from a terminal.
470 --mainline parent-number
474 Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which
475 side of the merge should be considered the mainline. This
476 option specifies the parent number (starting from
1) of
477 the mainline and allows revert to reverse the change
478 relative to the specified parent.
480 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Reverting a merge commit declares that you will never want the tree changes
481 brought in by the merge. As a result, later merges will only bring in tree
482 changes introduced by commits that are not ancestors of the previously
483 reverted merge. This may or may not be what you want.
</p></div>
484 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>See the
<a href=
"howto/revert-a-faulty-merge.txt">revert-a-faulty-merge How-To
</a> for
485 more details.
</p></div>
492 With this option,
<em>git revert
</em> will not start the commit
504 Usually the command automatically creates some commits with
505 commit log messages stating which commits were
506 reverted. This flag applies the changes necessary
507 to revert the named commits to your working tree
508 and the index, but does not make the commits. In addition,
509 when this option is used, your index does not have to match
510 the HEAD commit. The revert is done against the
511 beginning state of your index.
513 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>This is useful when reverting more than one commits'
514 effect to your index in a row.
</p></div>
524 Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
528 --strategy=
<strategy
>
532 Use the given merge strategy. Should only be used once.
533 See the MERGE STRATEGIES section in
<a href=
"git-merge.html">git-merge(

541 --strategy-option=
<option

545 Pass the merge strategy-specific option through to the
546 merge strategy. See
