title: Does EGit "Revert Commit" permanently delete the original commit?
body: <p>I'm still learning Git's workflow for doing things, and realized that I was accidentally in the wrong working branch when I committed some files.  So using EGit, I listed the commit history and selected Revert Commit from the context menu for a couple of commits.</p>
  
  <p>I have since realized that I wanted those commits, but cannot find the original commits anywhere.  It seems as though the original commits were all but deleted.  Even doing a full log listing on the entire git repo does not show the original commit or the revert commits.</p>
  
  <p>From my understanding of the EGit docs, revert commit was just supposed to "undo" the changes by creating a new commit ontop of the old one, undoing what it had done.  However, it would appear that it actually deleted my original commits.</p>
  
  <p>Am I toast?  Did I permanently lose those changes?  I'm running Eclipse 3.7 with EGit 2.1.0.20120919.</p>
