in Git speak, that operation is called 'clean' (see 'git clean') why
should we overload the 'revert' operation here?

It's less about overloading the 'revert' operation as overloading the
UI action which is currently called "Revert". I think it would be a
worse experience to have to activate a different option to remove
unwanted files as to remove unwanted changes. Maybe the UI option
could be renamed "Revert & Clean" or something?

As a side note, `git clean untracked-file` won't do anything with a
default configuration, you have to explicitly `-f` it. Not sure if
that's relevant, but it does feel like a higher barrier to entry than
`git revert`.
