Reverting a sequence of commits in git

This command lets you revert to any commit in the branch without modifying git history.  It appends the modifications to the current head of the branch.

$ git reset --hard A
$ git reset --soft D # (or ORIG_HEAD or @{1} [previous location of HEAD]), all of which are D
$ git commit
