Re: svn revert recursive by default?

No, it's deliberately nonrecursive, deliberately different from the
default behavior of all other commands.

'svn revert' is inherently dangerous, since it tosses local mods.
Therefore if someone wants to revert *all* local mods (rather than
just a single target), we want the user to be very specific about the
decision -- by typing -R.

If 'svn revert' were recursive by default, it would be too easy to hit
the [enter] key early and accidentally wipe out everything.
