Huh?  Have you actually tried "git diff -R"?  My copy of git 1.0.0 knows
about it.  What year are you still in ;-)?

If you apply the output of

	git diff -R HEAD^..HEAD

to your tree, you can revert the tip commit.  It is the same as

	git diff HEAD..HEAD^

If you want to write a forward diff in an obscure way, you could say

	git diff -R HEAD..HEAD^
