I personally have in my .gitconfig:
[alias]
revert-file = checkout HEAD --
I'm not sure revert-file is the best name, but it's what I've used
because I've been contaminated by the concept/naming of "p4 revert",
which I do use a fair amount to undo local edits for one or more files
when I've been forced to use perforce or perforce-like systems. Given
that it confuses the concept of how "git revert" works, maybe
something like "git unedit <pathspec>" would work better.
Given though it's so easy to address this with a single line in a
user's .gitconfig, I guess the question is whether it's worthwhile to
make a change that would be visible to all users, and perhaps more
importantly, all new users to git.
