Filipp,

Indeed, I have a similar alias in my ~/.gitconfig

[alias]
	revert-file = checkout HEAD --

Adding

[alias]
	unadd = reset HEAD --

to your .gitconfig would do what you want.  As a BTW, my favorite
alias is:

   lgt = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset' --abbrev-commit

Sample usage: "git lgt origin.." or "git lgt -10".

Cheers,
