The command "fossil rm --reset" is used for deleting and resetting changes made in a fossil repository.

In more detail, here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "fossil" refers to the fossil version control system.
  • "rm" is the abbreviation for "remove," which indicates that you want to remove something from the repository.
  • "--reset" is an option that instructs fossil to reset the repository to a previous state, effectively discarding any modifications made since the reset point. It removes all changesets after the specified reset point, making the repository appear as if the changes never occurred.

It's important to note that this command permanently removes the changes from the repository, and it cannot be undone. Therefore, exercise caution when using this command as it can result in the irreversible loss of data.
