NAME

       App::Pinto::Command::revert - revert stack to a prior revision

VERSION

       version 0.14

SYNOPSIS

         pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT revert [OPTIONS] [STACK] [REVISION]

DESCRIPTION

       !! THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL !!

       This command restores the head of the stack to a prior state by creating a new revision
       that matches the prior state.  See the reset command to move the head back to a prior
       state and discard subsequent revisions.

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       The arguments are the name of the stack and/or the id of the revision to revert to.  If
       the revision id is not specified, it defaults to the immediate parent of head revision of
       the stack.  If the stack is not specified, then it defaults to whichever stack is
       currently marked as the default.  The stack can also be specified using the "--stack"
       option.  Some examples:

         pinto ... revert                   # Revert default stack to previous revision
         pinto ... revert af01256e          # Revert default stack to revision af01256e
         pinto ... revert mystack af01256e  # Revert mystack to revision af0125e

COMMAND OPTIONS

       --dry-run
           Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any changes to the repository.
           At the conclusion, a diff showing the changes that would have been made will be
           displayed.  Use this option to see how upgrades would potentially impact the stack.

       --force
           Force reversion even if the revision is not actually an ancestor.  Normally, you can
           only revert to a revision that the stack has actually been at.  This option only has
           effect if you specify a target revision argument.

       --message=TEXT
       -m TEXT
           Use TEXT as the revision history log message.  If you do not use the "--message"
           option or the "--use-default-message" option, then you will be prompted to enter the
           message via your text editor.  Use the "PINTO_EDITOR" or "EDITOR" or "VISUAL"
           environment variables to control which editor is used.  A log message is not required
           whenever the "--dry-run" option is set, or if the action did not yield any changes to
           the repository.

       --stack=NAME
       -s NAME
           Peform reversion on the stack with the given NAME.  Defaults to the name of whichever
           stack is currently marked as the default stack.  Use the stacks command to see the
           stacks in the repository.  This option is silently ignored if the stack is specified
           as a command argument instead.

       --use-default-message
       -M  Use the default value for the revision history log message.  Pinto will generate a
           semi-informative log message just based on the command and its arguments.  If you set
           an explicit message with "--message", the "--use- default-message" option will be
           silently ignored.
