From 71aa2b8f0ee7cb2e60871f327996af21af88a668 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:45:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Resurrect git-revert.sh example and add comment to builtin-revert.c I had to scratch my head for quite some time figuring out why we cannot optimize out write_tree() we do when --no-commit option is given, whose purpose seem to be only to check if the index is unmerged, with a simple loop over the active_cache[]. So add a comment to describe why the write_tree() is there, and resurrect the last scripted version as a reference material in contrib/example directory with others.
