I realize that
resetting my local repo will mean a
bandwidth hit when I restore everything. :)
No, don't think so. You already have a copy of the local
repo, and you're not deleting any commits... So I think you could
reset up back to {HEAD}.
That is where I'm confused. I _do_ want to delete all commits more recent than the
date to which I reset. Otherwise I am building packages with the same current sources. I
won't accomplish anything. I am looking for a way to reset my local repo to commit
xxxxxxxx and delete all commits after that date. The final result is a local repo that
looks exactly as GIT did on the day of commit xxxxxxxx.
I want to do this to troubleshoot a difficult bug. After installing a GIT package set from
several months ago, I know the bug did not exist then. Something happened thereafter. I
want to build packages from my local repo but the sources must look exactly the same as
whatever date I choose.
I want to start as far back as April 1 and then proceed forward until the bug reappears.
When I do a git log I want the sources to actually reflect the state of that date and not
the illusion of that date. I need to do this to the whole repo and not just a specific
package module.
