hg backout [OPTION]... [-r] REV
reverse effect of earlier changeset
Prepare a new changeset with the effect of REV undone in the
current working directory.
If REV is the parent of the working directory, then this new changeset
is committed automatically. Otherwise, hg needs to merge the
changes and the merged result is left uncommitted.
.. note::
backout cannot be used to fix either an unwanted or
incorrect merge.
.. container:: verbose
By default, the pending changeset will have one parent,
maintaining a linear history. With --merge, the pending
changeset will instead have two parents: the old parent of the
working directory and a new child of REV that simply undoes REV.
Before version 1.7, the behavior without --merge was equivalent
to specifying --merge followed by :hg:`update --clean .` to
cancel the merge and leave the child of REV as a head to be
merged separately.
See :hg:`help dates` for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
Returns 0 on success, 1 if nothing to backout or there are unresolved
files.
