Allowing people to revert or cherry pick partially by using paths

No.

When "git revert <commit>" commits the result, "git revert <commit> -- 
<file>" should, too.

I was not questioning about that part.  "If 'git revert <some
other form> foo' does not talk about commit, it should not
commit" was what I was referring to.
