OT, misc git questions

Hi,

Just abusing our people's talent a bit here, . 

Quick questions on the git:

- is it possible to amend a committed & pushed comment?
- how to revoke a specific file to remote master?

thanks

Yes, you can. It's possible to prune a git repo by basically replaying
the other commit, thus creating a new repo. You might run into
trouble as your repo will have a different commit ID somewhere
in the middle.

No. Remote master can rebuild the repo, omitting the offending
commit, though.

As to _how_ to do this, ask git <at> vger.kernel.org (iirc).

sorry that I didn't make it clear. I meant, having realized that a change 
I shouldn't have made, how to revoke the file to the original stage, to 
the same version as the remote master version, but just this specific 
file? 

thanks

Unless a commit was for one file only, there is no trivial way to do so.
Create a branch, revert to the state you want, copy the file to somewhere,
go back to the other branch, copy back the file, commit and prune the
other branch...
