You can revert the commit without creating a new one by adding the '--no-commit' option. This leaves all the reverted files in the staging area. From there, I'd perform a soft reset and add in the changes I really wanted. For an example workflow:

git checkout . // This wipes all the undesired reverts still hanging around in the working copy
git commit
