Except languages are ambiguous. When you say you want to undo a commit, do you mean undo like pretend nothing had happened or undo but please keep track of the change.

That's why the first thing I do when I'm learning something new is to read the documentation to find out what capabilities are available.

Right away? Or when you actually need to do the thing?

When I start using anything new I really only check that it can do what I need it to, not everything that’s possible.

But those are two options of the same command. You can have a -keep-changes argument for undo and it wouldn't be weird or incompatible with the plain -language description.
