How do I revert from my current state to a snapshot made on a certain commit?

If I do git log, then I get the following output:

$ git log
commit a867b4af366350be2e7c21b8de9cc6504678a61b`
Author: Me <[email protected]>
Date:   Thu Nov 4 18:59:41 2010 -0400

blah blah blah...

more blah blah blah...

And yet more blah blah...

Yep, more blah blah.

How do I revert to the commit from November 3, i.e. commit 0d1d7fc?
