    Description

      Hi,

      it may surprise your UI designer but SourceTree is a git tool.

      Therefore, rename "Revert" to "Discard", as it was before. By pressing "Revert" you are NOT sending the "git command", so why confusing the coders familiar with git?

      Furthermore, it does not help that you call the git command "git revert" actually "Reverse Commit...". Instead, call it what it is: "Revert Commit..."

      Why? It only confuses the devs and is simply misleading. Please keep in mind that in many tech teams the "git revert" command may even be forbidden, for a number of quality reasons. Dev teams are usually pretty picky and cautious with such powerful git commands. We had now to tell all our devs that SourceTree's UI is misleading.
