Git question

[bryansthl]

I'm trying to figure out how to pull down an older hash with git.

Example 2a8a1f280246672ccee52add272ac76ba5ed39fd 10-28-2008

I'm getting Fatal error line 24 trying to apply scriptdev2 patch and it was suggested that I pull down the hash that the patch was released for.

Thanks for any help

You don't "pull some revision", you just clone the whole repository (so you have everything offline) and then you can "checkout" the tree from the object database.

If you'd like to have your working tree reflected from 2a8a1f280246672ccee52add272ac76ba5ed39fd , just checkout it:

git checkout 2a8a1f280246672ccee52add272ac76ba5ed39fd

why not just use this?

git reset --hard origin/master 2a8a1f280246672ccee52add272ac76ba5ed39fd

this should do the same thing, doesn't it?

ps: just written out of my head, not tested i know just that you can use it with HEAD~1 to reset to the previous commit
