out of interest, what's wrong with just reverting the offending commits?
There is a pile of them, coupled with commits I want to keep. revert does just not work, I have to rewind to that commit.
sorry i'm not sure follow... what's wrong with not just reverting each commit that was bad (how many are there that doing a force reset sounds more appealing?). what do you mean coupled, also? as in there's bit in your commits that want to keep but revert the majority of it? 'git rebase -i' will allow you to edit individual commits where you can pull out the stuff you want to keep and revert the reset of it. nuking the history seems like such a last resort i'm struggling to see how it could be beneficial over spending a bit more time sorting out the tree..
