I know this is probably not going to be the most used command, but I think (depending on your workflow) it can be as important as e.g. `reset` or `update-ref`

I gave two examples - maybe they can give a hint on why this actually can be a useful feature. Over the last few years I might have only wanted to do this twice or so, but I know that I read through the help string at least once to see how to do a revert.

Cheers!

P.S. I am sorry I missed the "v2" in the previous patch - I am still learning how to deal with the mailing list...
