I'm reviewing your comments, not your patch. Just so you know.

Hm... I really don't think we need both svn_client_revert() and
svn_client_revert_list(). Just make svn_client_revert() *not* take a
const char * path, and start taking an apr_array_header_t * targets
list.

svn_client_revert() should be handed a 'ctx' client callback back,
from which it should be able to call ctx->cancel_func(ctx->cancel_baton).

I answered this already. Also, I'd prefer not to see a function named
svn_client__revert1() -- first of all, the "1" is just ... ugly. But
also, if this function is never called from outside of revert.c, we
need to drop the "svn_client__" prefix (which implies intra-module
globalness).
