By the way, BitKeeper names this command "bk undo" (which is another
reason why I would advocate against "git undo" as a syntatic sugar for
"git checkout HEAD -- $*") --- not that I think there are too many BK
refugees that might want to switch to git, but it shows that "undo"
has its own ambiguities; gk uses "undo" the same way we currently use
"git revert".

For people who argue that "git cherry-pick --revert" or "git
cherry-pick -R" is too long, I'd argue that for most people its not a
common command, and for those for which it is common, they can always
make in alias for "git pick".
