Subject: help reverting a merge
Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:24:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dd18b0c30911291524q7ea7e9c7v980340ddf7269519@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

(I'm not on the list, so hopefully this goes through).
I've done a bisect on a problem with the kernel,
and am a bit confused on what to do. i.g. the
results are showing this:
a03fdb7612874834d6847107198712d18b5242c7 is the first bad commit

when trying to revert this commit I get this:
git revert a03fdb7612874834d6847107198712d18b5242c7
fatal: Commit a03fdb7612874834d6847107198712d18b5242c7 is a merge but
no -m option was given.

then doing this I get this:

git revert -m 1 a03fdb7612874834d6847107198712d18b5242c7
Automatic revert failed.  After resolving the conflicts,
mark the corrected paths with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
and commit the result.

how do I find out the commits in this merge to automatically
revert to find the problem that's causing this bug?
