Hrm. "git reset --hard" doesn't just make the working tree match the
index. It also resets the index to HEAD.  So either the original or your
new description is wrong.

I think it's the latter. We really do reset the index unless
--keep-index is specified.

I also wondered if it was worth avoiding the word "revert", as "git
revert" has a much different meaning (as opposed to "svn revert", which
does what you're talking about here). But I see that "git add -i"
already uses the word revert in this way (and there are probably
others).

So it may not be worth worrying about, but "set" or "reset" probably
serves the same purpose.
