It is *possible* to branch from right before the commit, and put
*that* in your branch or your local repo to work with. It's also
possible to replace an upstream git repo, entirely, with a repo that
does not have the commit. This is the feature that CVS had, and
Subversion absolutely refuses to support, and it can be *done* with
git but leaves split brain with any clones that contain that
commit.It's quite dangerous to do. A "revert" command is normally
much, much, much safer.
