SYNOPSIS
--------
+[verse]
'git revert' [--edit | --no-edit] [-n] [-m parent-number] [-s] <commit>...
DESCRIPTION
should see linkgit:git-reset[1], particularly the '--hard' option. If
you want to extract specific files as they were in another commit, you
should see linkgit:git-checkout[1], specifically the `git checkout
-<commit> -- <filename>` syntax. Take care with these alternatives as
+<commit> \-- <filename>` syntax. Take care with these alternatives as
both will discard uncommitted changes in your working directory.
