Where did you find 0.99.7 ToDo? I am curious...

commit 4aaa702794447d9b281dd22fe532fd61e02434e1
Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

git-checkout: revert specific paths to either index or a given tree-ish.
When extra paths arguments are given, git-checkout reverts only those
paths to either the version recorded in the index or the version
recorded in the given tree-ish.
This has been on the TODO list for quite a while.
