For some people I know, this would intuitively mean that the uncommitted changes in kernel/softlockup.c should be reverted.

So I am not convinced that this is an intuitive syntax at all.

Instead, I think that something like

	git revert :/!file=kernel/softlockup.c

would be possible, as it

- does not overload an already overloaded term, and

- is useful for something else than revert, too.
