You want to "checkout" the old version rather than
"reverting". Reverting refers to committing a change to undo an existing
change in the repository. What you need is time travel, which is much
simpler...
In git, you can say "the commit before" with a trailing caret, so I
think you probably want to use something like
git checkout d173e96^
If you want to jump back and forwards easily, I recommend creating a
branch with a name, like
git checkout -b old d173e96^
Now you can go to the new version with "git checkout master" and back
with "git checkout old". Moreover, you can cherry-pick commits into your
"old" branch to help work out what's going on.
When you finally want to get rid of the "old" branch, just checkout a
different branch (master, for example) and type "git branch -d old".
