I think the reasoning was that if "svn revert" uses the same
implied-dot convention as most other commands, then running

   $ svn revert

would try to revert the current directory (non-recursively, of course,
since revert is also not recursive by default). Exactly what "revert
the current directory" means I'm not sure, I must confess, but surely
it means something. :-)

Mike, Ben, care to illuminate?

I think it would be intuitive to do the implied-dot thing if and only
if --recursive were passed, actually.
