I agree that consistency with git shouldn't be a goal.  Gratuitous
inconsistency doesn't seem like a good goal, though, especially with
what I'd guess is a well-recognised (if not well-understood) git
command.

Why not "uncommit" (by analogy with "unrecord" from darcs)?  Or
perhaps an option to "update" (more of an analogy with git's "reset" I
suppose)?
