-e|--edit::
With this option, `git-revert` will let you edit the commit
- message prior committing the revert. This is the default if
+ message prior to committing the revert. This is the default if
you run the command from a terminal.
+-m parent-number|--mainline parent-number::
+ Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which
+ side of the merge should be considered the mainline. This
+ option specifies the parent number (starting from 1) of
+ the mainline and allows revert to reverse the change
+ relative to the specified parent.
+
--no-edit::
With this option, `git-revert` will not start the commit
message editor.
This is useful when reverting more than one commits'
effect to your working tree in a row.
+-s|--signoff::
+ Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
