Revert
The Revert command allows you to ‘undo’ certain commits (from whatever branch) in the current branch.

In SmartGit, there are several places from which you can initiate a Revert:
- Menu and toolbar On the Working tree window, select Branch|Revert to open the Revert dialog, where you can select one or more commits to revert. Depending on your toolbar settings, you can also open this dialog via the Revert button on the toolbar.
- Log Graph On the Log graph of the Log window, you can perform a revert by right-clicking on one or more commits and selecting Revert from the context-menu.
In case of a conflict, the Revert may stop in “reverting” state for which you can either:
- Fix the conflict and Continue (from the banner); or
- Abort the Revert (from the banner) and go back to the previous repository state
See Resolving Conflicts for further information on how to deal with conflicts.
