If it is just created commit (and not yet published), use "git commit --amend" to correct it, or "git reset --hard HEAD^" to just drop it.
If you have published history (somebody is relying on history containing broken commit) the only way is to add commit reverting changes brought by broken commit using git-revert.
If you can rewrite history, use "git rebase --interactive" and simply remove the commit from instructions/series file if the commit you want to remove is not too deep in history, or use git-filter-branch if broken commit is somewhere deeper. See documentation for details.
