[Paraview-developers] How to roll back a submodules

[Ken Martin]

I have  PV topic where I updated VTK and  now I want to roll the VTK back
to its original value.  When I try to do this I get

$ git commit -a
pre-commit hook failure
-----------------------

This commit would rewind a submodule link:

  "VTK"  7912d34 => 7fe30aa

from the newer version in HEAD (17249cd).  Run

  git reset HEAD -- "VTK"
  git submodule update -- "VTK"

to checkout the newer version of the submodule in your work tree.
Then try the commit again.


Anyone know how to get around this and actually move VTK back  to  its
original value without losing the rest of my topic? I guess I could do a
diff, create a new  topic and and apply the patch without the VTK change
but I was wondering if there is a right way to do it.

Thanks
Ken
