Straight answer (iow, what you asked, which may not match what you wanted
to really do):

	$ git read-tree -m -u A
        $ git commit -m 'Revert to A'

Probably a more useful answer, guessing what you really wanted to do:

You have a botched commit F that was in the sequence of longer commits,
A--B--C--D--E--F--G--H, and you want to recover from the mistake F made
(iow, the change between E and F is bad):

	$ git revert F

This will make your history A--B--C--D--E--F--G--H--F' where the
difference between H and F' counteracts what F did relative to E.
