What's the git equivalent of “svn update -r”?

Question

I\'m a recent git convert. It\'s great to be able to use git-svn to keep my branches locally without disturbing the svn server. There was a bug that existed in the latest versio

Answer 1

Update 2019: the proper command would be

git restore -s @~1

(to, for instance, restore files at their state in HEAD parent commit)

That is because:

• git checkout is too confusing, dealing both with branches and files.
  git restore only... restore files, since Git 2.23 (August 2019).
  No need for git checkout HEAD~ -- .
• Git 1.8.4 introduced @ as a shortcut notation for HEAD.
