"Permanently erase" or even "Erase" indicates that something gets lost,
which is not the case. Even after that operation, you can get back to
what was before if you want to.

Reverting isn't an operation people use that often (most people don't
work for nothing, they like to keep the work they've done :) ). That
said, you can see that with operations you don't do that often, people
usually don't just click around but think first about what they have to do.
Also, if you just want to revert some files, why don't you select those
files directly and choose "Revert" instead of all files or the parent
folder?
