reverting vs resetting

[Mihamina Rakotomandimby <mihamina@gulfsat.mg>]

Manao ahoana, Hello, Bonjour,

We put a gateway iptables script (SNAT, DNAT,...) under GIT.

Someone (Bob) made a mistake on it, but he did not know. That broke the
gateway.

Another one (Andy), did not try to undo Bob's mistake but tried (and
tried, and tried... always committing) to solve the problem. Andy made
about 50 commits.

When we decided to giveup, we decided to get back to the configuration
before Bob broke it. But it would be interesting to see Andy's history.

Reverting or resetting?

As far as I know: 
- Reverting Bob's commit will only cancel Bob's mistake but not Andy's
  tries to solve it.
- Resetting will forget the history.

Any suggestion?

Misaotra, Thanks, Merci.
