Do you object to using 'revert' in the name of the new command or just
to having the new command take over the exact name 'revert'?  I'd like
to propose making the reverting of edits functionality available under
the command name 'revert-edits', while leaving the existing reverting
of commits functionality under 'revert', but I'm not sure if that
would run afoul of your objections as well.
