Maybe "Permanently Erase Changes in Local Copy"

The others all sounds so... not serious, but revert local changes is as
serious as things get.

And I still say that the revert window should have NO files selected by
default. It's way WAY too easy to accidentally revert everything. Twice
now I've opened the revert window, clicked on one or two files I wanted
to revert, and hit ok, and bam, everything EXCEPT those got reverted. :(
I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up more.
