Reset to specified commit [message #1741455]

Hi,

I'm using JGit to programmatically pull remote changes to a local repository. If the pull fails and throws an exception, I want to reset the local repository to the latest commit before the pull attempt.

However, the ResetCommand does not take a commit identifier as an argument, even though the Git reset command accepts a <commit> parameter. Is this a known limitation of the ResetCommand, or am I missing something?

Is there an alternative JGit command that I could use to the same effect?

Thanks in advance!

Vlad

Ciao

Hi Christian,

Thank you for your answer.

I eventually did use ResetCommand#setRef(myCommit.getName()), but it took me some time to realize this would work. The API documentation for the setRef method seems a bit laconic.

Cheers,
Vlad
