You're right, context is important. But where I work we provide an explanation when a commit is reverted, emergency or not.

- brongondwana 13y agoThis. In one week I had to rip out two different things in the middle of the night. One was a simple revert, one was dropping an entire system which had taken months of work and reverting back to the old system. In both cases, I wrote a detailed technical explanation of why I had taken the action, and an apology for having to do it so suddenly, and I sent to to the entire group (a requirement anyway - if you make an on-the-fly ops change, you need to write up a full incident report so everyone knows what went wrong) Reverting always needs to come with a "this is what was wrong".
- MartinCron 13y agoYeah, I can't imagine not giving context for an emergency revert. That's the time when clarity of intention is most important!
