I remember having the exact same conversation, only in reverse. We've
once *had* the menu mention "Undo" instead of "Revert", and that
confused people too. Because they expected "Undo" to leave a clean wc
without local modifications.

Since the menu has been telling people "revert" for many years now, I
think we should leave it that way.
