How to revert a merge commit that's already pushed to remote branch?

Question

git revert alone won\'t work. -m must be specified, and I\'m pretty confused about it.

Anyone experienced this before?<

Answer 1

-m1 is the last parent of the current branch that is being fixed, -m 2 is the original parent of the branch that got merged into this.

Tortoise Git can also help here if command line is confusing.
