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

23-n::
24 Usually the command automatically creates a commit with
25 a commit log message stating which commit was reverted.
26 This flag applies the change necessary to revert the
27 named commit to your working tree, but does not make the
28 commit. In addition, when this option is used, your
29 working tree does not have to match the HEAD commit.
30 The revert is done against the beginning state of your
31 working tree.

33This is useful when reverting more than one commits'
34effect to your working tree in a row.
