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. | |
