+===== DESCRIPTION =====
+Note carefully //lack of traversal//:
+<code>
+<commit>...
+    Commits to revert. For a more complete list of ways to
+    spell commit names, see gitrevisions(7). Sets of commits
+    can also be given but no traversal is done by default, see
+    git-rev-list(1) and its --no-walk option.
 </code>
 ===== The variations =====
-==== Reverting
+==== Reverting a single commit ====
+How:
+<code>
+$ git revert 2965b41
+</code>
+which throws you into a commit edit session based on the earlier commit message:
+<code>
+Revert "HTTP->HTTPS"
+This reverts commit 2965b41fd84a1a76f56984ecdf6c123d1992730f.
+... snip ...
+</code>
+The default is ''%%--%%edit'' if done from a terminal; you can override with ''%%--%%no-edit''.
+==== Reverting a range of commits ====
+Revert commits individually (revert ''v1.0'' (not included) up to and //including// ''v1.1''):
+<code>
+$ git revert v1.0..v1.1
+</code>
+Revert commits in one operation but do not commit so you can tweak further:
+<code>
+$ git revert -n v1.0..v1.1
+</code>
+==== Reverting one file ====
+<code>
+$ git diff HEAD HEAD^ -- <filename> | git apply -
+</code>
