Perhaps you want to do something like:

     git revert <commit> <path1> <path2> ...

In such case the text "Only de path <path>..." makes no sense. I think
something like:

     Partial Revert (x/y) "some commit"

     This partially reverts commit <sha1>

...whould be a better choice. Summaries will show that 'x' of the 'y'
files committed in <sha1> have been reverted.

Cheers
