I warmly second that.

But here, I have to disagree.  Why would you want to call "git- 
revert" "git-reset"?

I know it's annoying that commands with the same name do different  
things in SVN/CVS but I don't think it's a reason to necessarily  
adapt to them.  There are plenty of misnomers already anyway  
(checkout, commit, add).

While we're discussing bad names, as someone already pointed out, I  
agree it's sad that "git push" is almost always understood as being  
the opposite of "git pull".
