commit foo (This is the HEAD)

commit bar (This is what I want         


        

Answer 1

git rebase -i HEAD~2

Will let you interactivly remove the commit

git rebase will remove all reference of that commit and change the id of the HEAD commit. Meaning people MAY have issues if they have branched from the old commit

git revert

may be a better way to keep history
