Git: roll back a commit using git show

1. Get a listing of the files in the commit you want to rollback:
2. Get the commit hash for the commit before the one you want to "roll back"
3. Write a script like this one:

#!/bin/bash

dir=core/modules

for X in cassandra elasticsearch tigergraph graph; do

    path=${dir}/${X}/main.tf

    git show 02c5afc:${path} > $path

done
