Using the -r/--rev or -d/--date options, revert the given files or
directories to their contents as of a specific revision. This can
be helpful to "roll back" some or all of an earlier change.
-
- Revert modifies the working directory. It does not commit any
- changes, or change the parent of the working directory. If you
- revert to a revision other than the parent of the working
- directory, the reverted files will thus appear modified
- afterwards.
+ Because revert does not change the working directory parents, this
+ will cause these files to appear modified.
If names are given, all files matching the names are reverted.
If no arguments are given, no files are reverted.
