Add support for git revert

[potatolain]

The git revert feature is super useful in reversing changes that have gone wrong. I was a little surprised to see no mention of it anywhere in the documentation, PRs, or issues. (Or anywhere in the codebase, really)

As far as I know there's no way to do it with the commands available today. (If I'm missing something obvious, let me know!)

I suspect it might be a bit of a challenge to implement, but it'd be great to have!

@cppchriscpp mind leaving an explanation of why this was closed? Maybe how you fixed the issue or whatnot?

[potatolain]

Sure. I no longer need the functionality, and no one else had responded to it so I figured I'd close it to reduce the noise.

Update: I'm fine reopening it if you'd like to keep tracking the feature btw - I'd guess someone else may want this feature in the future. (I didn't find a workaround or anything - it would need new code.)

Cheers

I'd like to have this feature. Would you please guide me how to implement this feature? I'll create a PR for it.

@ngocdaothanh the main issue on any feature is to figure out how to do this. This can probably be created outside the library with available functions. You need to create a commit that will have the opposite changes to the one for the original commit. But I'm not sure how this should be done.
