But that suggested command is not going to convince anyone they were  
wrong about git being hard to learn. I wonder if instead of saying, "I  
know what you meant, but I'm going to make you type a different  
command," we should make git revert just do what the user meant.

There is already precedent for that kind of mixed-mode UI:

git checkout my-branch
vs.
git checkout my/source/file.c
