magit-reset-quickly does not work anymore

Question

When in magit-status and having files in the "Unstaged changes" list I always could go to one of these files and press x to run magit-reset-quickly revert the changes on this file.

But now it does not work anymore. When I press x or run the commandy with M-x magit asks with "Reset master to:" and offers branches. But after I select a branch, nothing happens. The file is not reverted.

This is in all my repos and my config is this:

(use-package magit
  :straight t)

So what could be the problem? Or how can I debug this?

Answer 1

"Reset" and "reverse" do not refer to the same action.

• Commits are reset using git reset .... This changes what HEAD points at. Some variants additionally reset the files in the working tree.

• Individual files or hunks are applied or reversed. Reverting just means doing the opposite of what the patch says, i.e., remove + lines and add - lines.

In Magit x is used for resetting, a for applying, and v for reversing.

This is documented in https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Staging-and-Unstaging.html, https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Applying.html and https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Resetting.html.
