What does rollback do in deployments/releases

[Robert Pollard]

Hi,

I probably didn't look in the right place but I have been trying to find out exactly what the Rollback feature does for a release.  In the list of releases, there is a button to Rollback.

Does this revert changes in the repo for the specific branch it is associated with and re-deploy the changes?  I'm assuming to rollback means to undo all the changes that were deployed and it would do that by reversing the changes back to what it was before the deployment took place.

Our deployment consists of rsync in the Task setup of Deployments.  Of course you cannot reverse rsync out but you can revert to the release branch to a previous state and redeploy that previous state to the target.

Thanks!

Never mind...  Found the answer out by trying it as it reverses the set of commits each deployment deploys.
