    <p>What is the simplest way to undo a particular commit that is:</p> <ul> <li>not in the head or HEAD</li> <li>Has been pushed to the remote.</li> </ul> <p>Because if it is not the latest commit, </p> <pre><code>git reset HEAD </code></pre> <p>doesn't work. And because it has been pushed to a remote,</p> <pre><code>git rebase -i </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>git rebase --onto </code></pre> <p>will cause some problem in the remotes. </p> <p>More so, I don't want to modify the history really. If there was bad code, it was there in the history and can be seen. I just want it out in the working copy, and I don't mind a reverse merge commit.</p> <p>In other words, what is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29" rel="noreferrer">Git</a> equivalent of the following svn commands:</p> <pre><code>svn merge -r 303:295 http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk </code></pre> <p>which removes all changes from 295 to 302 by reverse merging all changes in those revisions, as a new commit.</p> <pre><code>svn merge -c -302 ^/trunk </code></pre> <p>which undoes the 302 commit, of course by adding another commit that reverse merges the changes from that respective commit.</p> <p>I thought it should be a fairly simple operation in Git and a fairly common use case. What else is the point of atomic commits? </p> <p>We have staging <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29#Stash" rel="noreferrer">stashing</a> and all to ensure the commits are perfectly atomic, shouldn't you be able to undo one or more of those atomic commits easily?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
