When git-revert has a file argument then redirect the user to what he

That's a big improvement. Basically everyone I show git to gets
"revert" wrong at first.
+ die("Cannot find commit '%s', did you meant: "
+ "git checkout HEAD -- '%s'", arg, arg);
But that suggested command is not going to convince anyone they were
wrong about git being hard to learn. I wonder if instead of saying, "I
know what you meant, but I'm going to make you type a different
command," we should make git revert just do what the user meant.
There is already precedent for that kind of mixed-mode UI:
git checkout my-branch
vs.
git checkout my/source/file.c
