reverting a file or files back to repository copy

["Aaron Gray" <aaronngray.lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How do I do the eqivalent of an 'svn revert' on a single file, on a 
directory of files, or on all files ?

I found 'git reset --hard HEAD' but it seems like a hammer to crack open a 
nut.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
