You can then "git rebase -i $base_commit" to squash the reverts into a
single commit if you're making a large rollback.

This, and other history rewrites, are a very bad idea for anything that has
been pushed into a public repository. Please use reverts to undo, as
otherwise every single person who pulls from your repository will have to
"git reset --hard" by hand. There are other ways to make such a rewrite
fast-forwardeable, but that's advanced git usage.
