Description Susan McCourt CLA 2011-04-27 17:43:31 EDT 
Today I've been trying to exclusively use orion git support rather than my command line and git gui tools.

One thing I have to keep returning to the command line/gui tools for is backing out of a change I made that I don't want anymore.  In Git GUI, I can select an unstaged change and choose "revert" which will restore me back to the remote version.  Very convenient.

Presumably the way I would do this today in Orion is go to the git log page for that file and then fetch the revision I want?  (I can't get git log for a specific file working due to bug 344038).

It would be nice to have some way to start this workflow from git-status, because that is where I notice that I have a change that's bogus.  Either "revert to remote version" as a command or a command that takes to me to git log for that file.

To be clear, this is about reverting an *unstaged* change ("Replace with File in Git Index" is the command name in eGit).  Bug 343963 is about reverting a change that was commited but not pushed. Both are useful, just wanted to make sure the bugs are clear.

Yes.  For my workflows, this case is much more common than the other bug.  I often make experimental or debug changes and then want to toss them.

marking duplicate of newer bug because that one is assigned.
