Hi Git devs, I have a feature request for git gui:
While browsing the changes, it is very easy to add (or remove) lines or hunks for commit via the context menu. I would like to revert the changes of a line or a hunk in a similar way. I have often white-space or formatting changes I don't want to commit but want them reverted immediately.
Bye Christoph

I'm using this patch series since it was posted:

Maybe this is easier to apply:

Hi Bert, your commit is more than half a year old. Do you intent to include that into Git master? If not, what's the reason?

Thats a really odd question to a person who posted this patch to the mailling list the fist place, isn't it? If anything you should have asked the git gui developers and community, why they didn't show interest to have this in master, right?

Hi Bert, yes and no. I couldn't find a message from you requesting a merge of this patch. Maybe it's me, I am not familiar with the way it works for Git.
@Git developers: Do you consider merging Bert's patch? If not, what's the reason?

Hi, Git gui isn't maintained by Junio himself : http://git-blame.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/note-from-maintainer.html <quote> Although the following are included in git.git repository, they have their own authoritative repository and maintainers:
a.. git-gui/ comes from git-gui project, maintained by Pat Thoyts:
git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git </quote>
Perhaps copy the original patch to Pat, with the justifications, reviews and Acks, to see if it's acceptable. -- Philip

I would like to have this feature too.
In the meantime, my workaround is to stage the whole file, unstage the hunk(s) or lines that I want to revert, and then choose "Revert Changes" from the Commit menu. A little more awkward than I would like, but it works well (except when you already took some time to selectively stage hunks or lines for the next commit). So yes, a context menu for this would be very welcome.
