No.

Feel free to add other "helper" aliases that are actually _new_ and have
no pre-existing git meaning, but not things like this. Not breaking
existing git usage just because somebody is too stupid and/or lazy to try
to learn a new word.

Do you object to using 'revert' in the name of the new command or just
to having the new command take over the exact name 'revert'?  I'd like
to propose making the reverting of edits functionality available under
the command name 'revert-edits', while leaving the existing reverting
of commits functionality under 'revert', but I'm not sure if that
would run afoul of your objections as well.
