NAME

       hg revert - restore files to their checkout state

SYNOPSIS

       hg revert [OPTION]... [-r REV] [NAME]...

DESCRIPTION

       Note   To  check  out  earlier  revisions,  you  should  use  hg update REV.  To cancel an
              uncommitted merge (and lose your changes), use hg merge --abort.

       With no revision specified, revert the specified files or directories to the contents they
       had  in  the  parent  of the working directory.  This restores the contents of files to an
       unmodified state and unschedules adds,  removes,  copies,  and  renames.  If  the  working
       directory has two parents, you must explicitly specify a revision.

       Using  the  -r/--rev  or -d/--date options, revert the given files or directories to their
       states as of a specific revision. Because revert does not  change  the  working  directory
       parents, this will cause these files to appear modified. This can be helpful to "back out"
       some or all of an earlier change. See hg backout for a related method.

       Modified files are saved with a .orig suffix before reverting.  To disable these  backups,
       use  --no-backup.  It is possible to store the backup files in a custom directory relative
       to the root of the repository by setting the ui.origbackuppath configuration option.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       See hg help backout for a way to reverse the effect of an earlier changeset.

       Returns 0 on success.
