I used to argue for this, but gave up, because no one seemed to agree
with me.  So now I just have the following in
/home/tytso/bin/git-revert-file and I am very happy:

#!/bin/sh
#
prefix=$(git rev-parse --show-prefix)

for i in $*
do
        git show HEAD:$prefix$i > $i
done

Isn't that this?

        #!/bin/sh
        exec git checkout HEAD -- "$@"

I thought so at first, too, but there's one difference. Ted's version
doesn't affect the index, while yours does. Of course I cannot tell if
Ted actually intended not to touch the index ;-)
