Back then the only way to revert to index or HEAD was to "checkout-index -f -q -u -a" or "reset --hard" and it was cumbersome to revert only a single path. I have been wondering if we wanted to be able to say: git checkout HEAD gitweb/ to revert everything under named hierarchy, but we haven't heard user requests for this. This is way more dangerous than my liking so personally I am happy that we do not have it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
