130 130  Keep in mind that the difficult part of what you do should be the thinking. Git makes it easy to organize and share your thoughts as branches. Your local copies may be messy or not. They are the thoughts you have in your head and lots of those thoughts will stay there and never see the light of day and that is ok. But when you have clarified your thoughts, git will make it easy to share them.

136 -Reverting is easy. The following command removes all modifications to files in your wqorking copy and brings them back to the HEAD.
130 +Reverting seems really complicated. Perhaps the simplicity of "svn revert" has fooled me. For example, say that a bunch of files get changed under you (such as, when eclipse helpfully changes the encoding specified for all the .woo files in a project without saying a word about it), how can you revert them. You might think "git revert" would work, but (if I understand it) that is only for reverting a checkin. Delete the file and do a revert? Nope. I know, svn will do just fine there, but not git. In order to do this, you need:
