meant “you can’t pass 0 for a pointer param–gotta use nil or FFI::MemoryPointer.new(0)”

So say you accidentally do some commit and just want all history of it gone…

Here’s how.

git-revert won’t work, because it just rewrites that “dumb” commit, but backward.  It creates a new commit. Now your problem has doubled in terms of embarrassment.

So here’s what you do.  Assuming all the “other” (good) commits have been committed to some branch, like origin/master. If not create some other branch, merge in up to the point where you things headed south.

Checkout the commit “before” the commit you want to ignore.

$ git co some_other_temp_branch

delete the offending (now tainted) branch–in this case we’ll call it master.

$ git b rm -D master

re-create the local master (without the offending)

$ git b -f master origin/master

done.

You may have some do some other finagling in there to perserve other commits you haven’t pushed to origin/master, but there it is.  If you have pushed offending commits already to origin/master, you’re probably stuck, unless nobody has checked out those commits yet, then you might could delete the foreign branch, and push another “new” clean version in its place.

You may notice that there is no “upload file” option within pastie.

However, the “right” way is to pipe it into some program that will upload it for you, instead of piping output to a file and uploading that file.

See http://pastie.org/help/ on the right hand side.
