如何在保持成功提交的同时撤消Mercurial中一次提交的影响？

Question

While developing one web application, I made one tiny change in one commit, and then proceeded further. Today My repo has moved on quite far down the line. I want to the undo the changes made in that particular commit, while keeping the changes made in the successive commits.

How do I do this in Mercurial?

Example: Suppose in commit 96, I changed a boolean variable which was true to false.

Today my repository is at Rev 678. I want to undo only those changes made in commit 96.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

• Delete changeset with hg strip | hg histedit (-1 changeset in history)

or

• Backout changeset with hg backout (+1 changeset in history, which undo changes from wrong changeset)
