[Bioc-devel] Resetting to previous commits

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

You cannot revert. By pushing those updates, you released a version into
the wild. It is true that as long as it doesn't build on the build servers,
it would have been hard to obtain for anyone, but it is still possible
through git. You need to update the version.

Best,
Kasper
