If your repository is hosted on a pre 1.5 server, then no. But if your
repository is served by an 1.5.x server, then yes: you just messed with
Subversions internal merge data.

No. "Update to revision" will bring the files/folders to that revision
you specify. If you then make modifications, you can't commit them
because those are not in sync with the repository anymore. You can only
commit changes if your files are at the same revision as the files in
the repository.

No, "revert to this revision" merges the changes backwards. If you have
local modifications, they will be preserved.

You mean "revert changes from this revision" and "revert to this
revision"? The first one reverts only the changes you committed in that
revision, the latter reverts all changes up to that revision.

I guess we should disable those in that situation...
Done in r13708.

Done in r13709.
