I am trying to revert a commit on protected master branch using

   git revert <hash number>

but get an error 

error: commit <hash number> is a merge but no -m option was given.
fatal: revert failed

I tried to understand documentation for -m option here but I do not understand it entirely. How can I get around this error?

    I looked for some earlier answers that might describe *why* there is a `-m` option, and the best I found is https://stackoverflow.com/a/5971033/1256452. Does that suffice, and if not, how much do you want to know about revert? :-) – torek Nov 20 '17 at 19:01
