   • restore based on the commit id ./your_repo_dir/Restore.sh --action restore --restore-point-type commit-id --restore-point c5e54499c78d3794e4fa26b68d2db8bd62cfc0b2
   • restore based on the row index ./your_repo_dir/Restore.sh --action restore --restore-point-type index --restore-point 2
   • restore based on the current state of files and ignore backup/restore points ./your_repo_dir/Restore.sh --action restore --restore-point-type manual
