I guess he wanted to write 'git reset --hard' here ;-)

Thank you!  This is much better.  The only thing that could improve it
is by some way to "un-cherry-pick" the applied change (so that after
"git reset" there are no local modifications to the file(s) changed by
cherry-picking <bla>).

Is there an easy way to invert a patch to undo the change the original
patch introduced?

git show <commit> | git apply -R?
