Thanks for the clarification :-)

So how do you revert WC changes? At least I got the SVN part right --
which is not surprising because that's the one I actually use. Oh, and
monotone uses 'revert' for the WC meaning too (the other one does not
really make much sense to me, but so does git as a whole)

(You can't be serious that for reverting a WC file to the repository
state you use "git checkout"?)
