Actually , not only is git-revert misnamed, it doesn't match up with most other SCMs. "svn revert" is git-reset. "bzr revert" is git-reset. "darcs revert" is git-reset. "hg revert" is git-reset. "svk revert" is git-reset. "monotone revert" is git-reset. Most people must surely be expecting it to do what it does in every other SCM; as it doesn't my argument is that we should just drop the name "revert" and call it git-invert instead, which is more accurately named and doesn't conflict with the standard meaning.
