git add - Git documentation: about `revert` subcommand of `git add -i` -

git documentation revert subcommand of git add -i:

revert
has similar ui update, , staged information selected paths reverted of head version.

maybe incorrectly understand text... understand like:

revert same git checkout -- file_name.

but @ practice see revert removes file staging area. did incorrect translat, or incorrect text in documentation?

there difference between subcommand revert (on interactive mode) command revert , command reset.

• the first 1 opposite of git add, , able use if run git add --interactive
• the second 1 used revert commits (will add new commit opposite operations of reverted commit).
• the last 1 git add subcommand revert (first one), mean, undo git add command (unless specify commit, see documentation).

so if want reset file have use git checkout -- head filename
