Right, but it is with Dolt. That's the point.

CALL DOLT_REVERT('bad-commit-hash')

Works just like git revert: creates an inverse of the changes in the commit given and applies it as a patch.

It will be a conflict. But you can commit the revert to a different branch and run both schemas at the same time. This provides a lot of flexibility! Check out https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2022-04-29-dolt-revert/ for some discussion of this.
