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.
