Michael, my comment was about "reverting the changes from the old
commit, but only for specified path/file", sorry about non quoting it.

I think that ''the old commit" is HEAD~1, so reverting it is about
checking out HEAD~2, and commiting the results. The same is for a
given file.

Yeah, and may be your reasoning is better for the principle of least surprise.
