| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 52a22d1e LAS |
14 | Given one existing commit, revert the change the patch introduces, and record a |
| 15 | new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be clean (no | |
| 16 | modifications from the HEAD commit). | |

24 | With this option, `git-revert` will let you edit the commit |
| 25 | message prior committing the revert. This is the default if | |
| 26 | you run the command from a terminal. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | --no-edit:: | |
| 29 | With this option, `git-revert` will not start the commit | |
| 30 | message editor. | |
| 31 | ||
| 674b2808 | 32 | -n|--no-commit:: |

33 | Usually the command automatically creates a commit with |
| 34 | a commit log message stating which commit was reverted. | |
| 35 | This flag applies the change necessary to revert the | |
| 36 | named commit to your working tree, but does not make the | |
| 37 | commit. In addition, when this option is used, your | |
| 38 | working tree does not have to match the HEAD commit. | |
| 39 | The revert is done against the beginning state of your | |
| 40 | working tree. | |

| 42 | This is useful when reverting more than one commits' | |
| 43 | effect to your working tree in a row. | |
