Subject: Revert a single commit in a single file
Message-ID: <AANLkTikpdGfAAUMu_7DfA-GRUv7gKn5Yc9RnJwo2iKoM@mail.gmail.com>

I tried asking the same question on the "newbie" list some time ago:

http://groups.google.com/group/git-users/browse_thread/thread/d562b4eeac016711

Basically, when I go
> git revert <commit> <path>

.. my expectation was that a new commit would be made reverting the
changes from the old commit, but only for specified path/file.

Maybe it's a bit of a corner-case, but still would be nice to have
once in a while. What do you think?
