Documentation

Delete revisions newer than REV.

REV must be on the current branch. The newer revisions are deleted from the revision history and the changes made by those revisions to files in the working tree are undone. When called interactively, prompts for REV. If the are uncommitted changes, prompts to discard them. With a prefix argument (when called from Lisp, with optional argument DISCARD non-nil), discard any uncommitted changes without prompting. BACKEND is the VC backend.

To delete revisions from the revision history without undoing the changes in the working tree, see vc-uncommit-revisions-from-end.
