Eugene's only suggestion was to not use the dialog which is not good
enough for me. There are only two options here. We implemented the
one we think is best. The other option is to do what TortoiseSVN does
and have two update options. The current update would go back to its
old behavior and a new Update to revision ... option would be added,
although that might not be the text.

Being able to specify the revision or cancel the updates are nice side
effects of having a dialog but the reason we have to have a dialog is
to expose the new --depth option of Subversion 1.5.
