Ew.  'git revert-file --staged foo'?  If you want to revert the
*unstaged* changes of a file, it should be 'git revert-file --unstaged
foo'.
I would expect 'git revert-file --staged foo' to revert the staged
changes in foo, i.e. it should do what 'git reset -- foo' does (except
that it should also work for the initial commit).  Thus, there'd be
little need for a --staged flag to revert-file, unless we allowed
reverting individual files back to some revision prior to HEAD (like
bzr and hg do)...
