Do you really use git revert _that_ often ? I don't. And cherry-pick is
a really usual name for the tool.

FWIW the basic idea is to deprecate revert in a (not so ?) long time,
and leave git revert unimplemented for ever so that people that would
like it to be 'git checkout HEAD --' alias it to that, and the ones that
want to keep the current behaviour alias it to 'git cherry-pick -R'
