Reverting this commit means reverting the changes made by the commit.
This conflicts with subsequent changes.

You can use "git mergetool" to resolve the conflicts.  Or you can use
"git diff" to extract the reverted patch and apply it manually:

git diff-tree -p f3144600..f3144600^ >reverted.diff
patch -p1 -i reverted.diff
