IMHO, we should find a better way to say that than to use the "index"

OTOH, the best I can find for "staging area" is "zone de préparation",
and that doesn't help finding a word for stage and unstage.

"zone de préparation" sounds good to me.

We should care that the revert operation does *not* remove a commit but
add a new one (this makes sense to Git). As a consequence, we should
avoid "Annuler", "Révoquer" and "Défaire".

"Inverser" looks like the best translation.

Yeah, I agree with that reasoning.

Hmm.. if you look at the git-gui program, when we use "Revert", it's not
always the usage of the git-revert command that is invoked.

Most of the time, it's the equivalent of running "git reset --hard", or
"git checkout path/filename.ext" (in fact, it uses git-checkout-index,
see git-gui/lib/index.tcl::revert_helper..).

That is true for example in the "Commit" menu, 3rd to last item, which
reads in french "Inverser les modifications" or "Révoker les
modifications" as I modified it at some point.

What happens here, is really not inversion of modifications; we're just
wiping out all changes from the working dir, back to HEAD. Several of
the translated messages are used in *that* context. 


So, considering this, which one of: "Annuler", "Révoquer", "Défaire",
"Effacer", "Restaurer l'original", "Scrapper", "Trucider", "Supprimer" +
"les modifications" would be best ?

It should be obvious that it's going to affect the blue icons, and that
those modifications will dissapear forever.

Also note that "svn revert" does like git-checkout-index, and not like
git-revert, so the terms must be clear here, even in English.
