 761 <div class="paragraph"><p>Given one or more existing commits, revert the changes that the
 762 related patches introduce, and record some new commits that record
 763 them.  This requires your working tree to be clean (no modifications
 764 from the HEAD commit).</p></div>
 765 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note: <em>git revert</em> is used to record some new commits to reverse the
 766 effect of some earlier commits (often only a faulty one).  If you want to
 767 throw away all uncommitted changes in your working directory, you
 768 should see <a href="git-reset.html">git-reset(1)</a>, particularly the <code>--hard</code> option.  If
 769 you want to extract specific files as they were in another commit, you
 770 should see <a href="git-restore.html">git-restore(1)</a>, specifically the <code>--source</code>
 771 option. Take care with these alternatives as
 772 both will discard uncommitted changes in your working directory.</p></div>

 787         For a more complete list of ways to spell commit names, see
 788         <a href="gitrevisions.html">gitrevisions(7)</a>.
 789         Sets of commits can also be given but no traversal is done by
 790         default, see <a href="git-rev-list.html">git-rev-list(1)</a> and its <code>--no-walk</code>

 801 <p>
 802         With this option, <em>git revert</em> will let you edit the commit
 803         message prior to committing the revert. This is the default if
 804         you run the command from a terminal.

 814 <p>
 815         Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which
 816         side of the merge should be considered the mainline.  This
 817         option specifies the parent number (starting from 1) of
 818         the mainline and allows revert to reverse the change
 819         relative to the specified parent.
 820 </p>
 821 <div class="paragraph"><p>Reverting a merge commit declares that you will never want the tree changes
 822 brought in by the merge.  As a result, later merges will only bring in tree
 823 changes introduced by commits that are not ancestors of the previously
 824 reverted merge.  This may or may not be what you want.</p></div>

 842         This option determines how the commit message will be cleaned up before
 843         being passed on to the commit machinery. See <a href="git-commit.html">git-commit(1)</a> for more
 844         details. In particular, if the <em>&lt;mode&gt;</em> is given a value of <code>scissors</code>,
 845         scissors will be appended to <code>MERGE_MSG</code> before being passed on in the case
 846         of a conflict.

 857         Usually the command automatically creates some commits with
 858         commit log messages stating which commits were
 859         reverted.  This flag applies the changes necessary
 860         to revert the named commits to your working tree
 861         and the index, but does not make the commits.  In addition,
 862         when this option is used, your index does not have to match
 863         the HEAD commit.  The revert is done against the
 864         beginning state of your index.

 929         After the rerere mechanism reuses a recorded resolution on
 930         the current conflict to update the files in the working
 931         tree, allow it to also update the index with the result of
 932         resolution.  <code>--no-rerere-autoupdate</code> is a good way to
 933         double-check what <code>rerere</code> did and catch potential
 934         mismerges, before committing the result to the index with a
 935         separate <code>git add</code>.
