You have seen that there are two different file lists, "staged changes" and "unstaged changes", right? AFAIK if you click on the file in "staged changes", you can find the staged hunk and then remove it from the staged area.

"Revert hunk" would not make any sense, since the hunk disappears once you staged/unstaged it.
