If you're not a contributor and don't have commit access, you can stop
reading now.

Let me remind you the last time you put yourself in this precise situation:

   - Damn I have an undisclosed number of engineers waiting for me to fix
   the tree and Nicolas is in possession of the squeaky bat! The try slaves
   already sent 30 failures emails! (not that I personally care) What do I need
   to do?

Situation you reached by following this good old recipe:

   1. Change stuff.
   2. Send for review.
   3. Your reviewer misses the obvious FAIL(tm) in your change and rubber
   stamp lgtm.
   4. Commit bad stuff.
   5. Walk away.

Here's the recipe to fix things:
$revert  123  -c  -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]  -m "I broke the build. Blame
my reviewer."

Where 123 is the magic number for all the failing changes. I heard 42 works
too. All other flags are optional. Now I could start a long and dull email
explaining all the possible ways to use this nifty little tool that has only
one purpose but hey, I know you're smarter than me and will just execute
'revert --help'.
But still, I'll add that if you revert someone else's change, by default
he'll be the reviewer so no need to specify --reviewers.

Thanks,

M-A
