It's less ambiguous than "undo", and it's easier for people used to "hg revert" and "svn revert" to find "git revert-file". And, it won't be run accidentally by old-timers who are used to the old (to be deprecated) "git revert". But I'm not that picky about the name; I just missed the "git undo" proposal in your patch. > Making it plain "revert" would violate expectations of existing users; > it seems a better idea to just deprecate it, and point the users to the > new method - cherry-pick --revert - or the command they might have meant > - whatever that becomes. Yup, I agree; that's why I suggested "git revert-file". - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
