Not sure I follow.  Those commands do very clearly different things:

  git-checkout: Doesn't touch history.  Checks out a branch as your
current working branch.

  git-reset: Removes some of the most recent commits in the branch, as
if they never happened.  It applies the changes from those commits to
your working tree, unless you provide --hard.

  git-revert: Adds a new commit to the branch, undoing an old one, with
a comment mentioning that this is reverting that old commit.
