I warmly second that.

 - "git revert" should be called "git invert"
 - "git revert" would (maybe) be "git reset"

But here, I have to disagree. Why would you want to call "git- revert" "git-reset"?

I know it's annoying that commands with the same name do different things in SVN/CVS but I don't think it's a reason to necessarily adapt to them. There are plenty of misnomers already anyway (checkout, commit, add).

While we're discussing bad names, as someone already pointed out, I agree it's sad that "git push" is almost always understood as being the opposite of "git pull".
