cg-admin-uncommit

NAME

cg-admin-uncommit - undo a commit or a series of commits

SYNOPSIS

cg-admin-uncommit [-t] [COMMIT_ID]

DESCRIPTION

Takes a commit ID which is the earliest commit to be removed from the repository. If no parameter is passed, it uncommits the latest commit (HEAD). Read the CAVEATS section before using it for the first time.

This command is a close relative of cg-switch -f (which does essentially the same thing, but is slightly more powerful at the expense of a more elaborate usage). Do not confuse either with the operation performed by gitm[blue]1m[][1], which is meant only for temporary excursions to the project history.

OPTIONS

-t

This optional parameter makes gitm[blue]1m[][2] to roll back the tree as well to the previous commit. Without this option (by default) Cogito keeps the tree in its current state, therefore generating tree with local changes against the target commit, consisting of the changes in the rolled back commits.

-h, --help

Print usage summary.

--long-help

Print user manual. The same as found in gitm[blue]1m[][2].

CAVEATS

This command can be dangerous! It is safe to do as long as you do not push the commit out in the meantime, but you should NEVER uncommit an already pushed out commit. Things will break for the fetchers since you just broke the fast-forward merging mechanism (the new commit is not descendant of the previous one), and the push command will refuse to push again after you uncommitted a pushed out commit, too. At the moment you pushed the commit out it's etched to the history, live with that.
