It undoes the change made to `somefile` in `COMMIT_ID`.
Details: `git show <COMMIT_ID>` gives you the patch identified by COMMIT_ID. Appending ` -- somefile` narrows that patch down to only include the specified path.
The `-R` option to `git apply` tells it to apply the patch in reverse.
Thus, "undo the changes in `somefile` from this commit".
