Use --allow-revert to override! This message suggests you to use --allow-revert — I believe it's what you need. From the manpage: --allow-revert Usually reverting to an old state of the patched branch is not allowed, to avoid mistakes (like having only pulled the Debian branch and forgot to run checkout-patched). This option changes that so you can for example drop the last patch in your stack. -- Dmitry Shachnev
