Stupid Question

[Erik Bågfors]

You can always go back to what you had before. That is, you can always
remove any none commited changes (such as screwing up a file badly) or
even back up to an earlier version of the repository if you screwed up
and then commited.

There has been talk about a revert command but I don't think that's
implemented yet...

Here is one way right now.

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; bzr init
: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; echo hello > file
: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; bzr add file
: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; bzr commit -m 'added file'
: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; echo "screw up" > file
: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; bzr diff
*** modified file 'file'
--- file
+++ file
@@ -1,1 +1,1 @@
-hello
+screw up

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; bzr revno
1

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; bzr cat -r 1 file > file
: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ; bzr diff
: [bagfors at zyrgelkwytng]$ ;
