The manual doesn't mention a -w or > --ignore-whitespace option for git revert. In theory there is no reason we couldn't support "-w", but I don't think there is a way to do it currently. You could just manually do the revert. Something like: git diff-tree -p $commit | git apply --ignore-whitespace git commit -m "revert '`git log -1 --format=%s $commit`'" which is more or less what revert will do (actually, I think it will do more with 3-way merges during the application, but the point is that a revert in git is nothing more than achieving a tree state that pulls out the reverted content, and then making a commit. It has no special status in the history graph). -Peff -- 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
