Thank you for the explanation. However, will the user have to grab a
new git or can this simply be undone with the 'git-show | patch -p1'
sequence? This should be explained as well in a Wiki article.

And they explicitly have to remove that commit with "git reset --hard". And if you forget to do this and continue on the standard path 'git fetch; git rebase origin' you will end up with problems down the round. You still have that revert patch in your tree!

This would seriously break the git. I usually do a git and then branch
into another so that I can work with the problem as defined in issue
6254. This eliminates not being able to pull the next update. However,
this does lead to a serious use of hard drive space.
Lastly, thank you for the explanation of why git-revert is bad. This
should be added to the git page on the Wine Wiki IMHO.
