"Annuler", "Révoquer", "Inverser" or "Défaire" usualy stands for the same thing but : - thoses words doesn't have stricly the same meanings ; - we are in a special case here because of the underlying technical result. We should care that the revert operation does *not* remove a commit but add a new one (this makes sense to Git). As a consequence, we should avoid "Annuler", "Révoquer" and "Défaire". "Inverser" looks like the best translation. -- Nicolas Sebrecht -- 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
