Working with git: git equivalent of "svn up -r..."

[rod]

Depends what you want to do when you get there really.

Disclaimer: --hard will wipe out any changes you have in your WC

This will move your current branch to point to that commit...

git reset --hard 72164060176afd82227b03e05aede0ce292f093f

But this applies to the whole git checkout, not a subtree (as i think i
remember you could do with svn...)
