Sometimes when using git and encounter the situation tha has to rollback to a version or commit, here is the git command to reveal this:

# remove file from cache
git reset HEAD file  
#  will reset the last n times commits as if there have never commited for this.
git reset --hard HEAD~n   
# will rollback to the <commit> version.
git reset --hard <commit> 

# rollback to a version but only rollback commit information, keep source code and index.
git reset --soft  <...>  
# just as git reset, only source code kept, with commit and index information rollbacked.
git reset --mixed <...>  
# thoroughtly rollback to a version, source code as well as index information rollbacked.
git reset --hard  <...>
