I actually think that it is a bad idea to deliberately use such
misleading words like "revert", that will discourage users from
weaning themselves off of SVN. "checked out N paths out of the
index", "checked out N paths out of the commit X" and "checked out N
paths out of branch B" would be clear enough and won't have such a
problem---otherwise you are encouraging them to make a mistake
echo garbage >path
... say oops ...
git revert path
