Potentially confusing, but not all bad. The error message on fail will presumably
say 'use cleanup', and after that using revert or update will bring the BASE or
HEAD files back. The modified ones will still be in the recycler, which is what
we want, because the user mistakenly threw away all his changes while tying to do
a cleanup the wrong way.
