+(EXPERIMENTAL!) 'git replay' ([--contained] --onto <newbase> | --advance <branch> | --revert <branch>) [--ref-action[=<mode>]] <revision-range>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
point at the tip of the resulting history. This is different from `--onto`,
which uses the target only as a starting point without updating it.
+--revert <branch>::
+ Starting point at which to create the reverted commits; must be a
+ branch name.
++
+When `--revert` is specified, the commits in the revision range are reverted
+(their changes are undone) and the reverted commits are created on top of
+<branch>. The <branch> is then updated to point at the new commits. This is
+the same as running `git revert <revision-range>` but does not update the
+working tree.
++
+The commit messages follow `git revert` conventions: they are prefixed with
+"Revert" and include "This reverts commit <hash>." When reverting a commit
+whose message starts with "Revert", the new message uses "Reapply" instead.
+Unlike cherry-pick which preserves the original author, revert commits use
+the current user as the author, matching the behavior of `git revert`.
++
+This option is mutually exclusive with `--onto` and `--advance`. It is also
+incompatible with `--contained` (which is a modifier for `--onto` only).
+
--contained::
Update all branches that point at commits in
<revision-range>. Requires `--onto`.

Range of commits to replay; see "Specifying Ranges" in

There is no stderr output on conflicts; see the <<exit-status,EXIT

`origin/main`. These three branches may have commits on top of `base`
that they have in common, but that does not need to be the case.
+To revert commits on a branch:
+
+------------
+$ git replay --revert main topic~2..topic
+------------
+
+This reverts the last two commits from `topic`, creating revert commits on
+top of `main`, and updates `main` to point at the result. This is useful when
+commits from `topic` were previously merged or cherry-picked into `main` and
+need to be undone.
+
+NOTE: For reverting an entire merge request as a single commit (rather than
+commit-by-commit), consider using `git merge-tree --merge-base $TIP HEAD $BASE`
+which can avoid unnecessary merge conflicts.
