Thanks.

Yes that is correct.  Also by omitting <tree-ish> you can
checkout from the index.

I thought what you originally wanted to do was revert only index
without losing your changes from the working tree, so just to
make sure, the above does _not_ do it --- the named file in the
working tree is also reverted to the one from <tree-ish>.
