git revert in Egit

Question

Is it possible to do "git revert"s in Egit to rollback changes by creating a new commit (as opposed to checking out an older commit or doing a hard reset which doesn't create a new commit rolling back the changes)?

This seems like an important feature if you have a central repository in case you ever need to undo changes that has already been pushed there.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

• install latest nightly of EGit (0.11.xx)
• open History View
• right-click on the commit you want to revert in the currently checked out branch
• click "Revert Commit"
