I would prefer the revert dialog to behave consistently like all other
dialogs, i.e. select all files by default.

To make the revert less destructive I propose the following patch.

It basically moves the files to be reverted to the recyle-bin before calling
the subversion revert function. This makes the subversion library being
called on a missing file instead of on a modified file. The result of the
revert is same except that the previous version can be restored out of the
recycle-bin.
To revert the files without the previous version being placed in the
recyle-bin, just press Shift like in the windows explorer.

Note: the patch has not been tested well yet. This is only a RFC :-)
