[rules-dev] another standard CM operation: howto in git?

[Geoffrey De Smet]

First do "git status" so you get a list of things you might want to 
rollback.
(if you got git colors enabled it looks nicer btw, see emmanual's git 
blog on in.relation.to)

Then just do
git checkout -- theFileIWantToRollback.txt

More info in the the Pro Git book

Also after working with git a week or 2 on the command line, so we 
understand git,
we can start looking at the GUI integration (Eclipse EGit, IntelliJ).
In the GUI you get a revert/rollback dialog where you can chose which 
files more easily.
