Well, I think that _if_ we allow "git revert <path>" to mean "revert the 
changes to <path>, relative to the index" (which would be the same as "git 
checkout <path>"), then committing that change just does not make sense.

And it is this behaviour that people are seeking, not "git revert <commit> 
<path>".

Heh, I found this in the recent log somewhere.

<gitte> Really, I wonder how difficult git is for people who are not

<gitte> From a user perspective, you might be correct.  But then we have to

<gitte> Not what I want.						[06:46]

I am wondering who said it ;-).

Now, that is not fair, using my own words against me ;-)
