I use this command enough that I have this defined as an alias in my
~/.gitconfig file.  Try running this command:

	git config --global alias.revert-file "checkout HEAD --"

Now you will be able to do this:

	git revert-file d.txt

This is also useful when I've edited d.txt, and decided that I didn't
go about it the right away, and so I want to revert my edits.
