There's a reason for this, and I agree with upstream. 'revert' is
different from almost all other svn commands in that it intentionally
loses data, the changes you have made to your working copy. You
*should* be required to specify which data you want to throw away.
I'll close this bug unless you have a stronger argument than the one
you stated above.
