No it doesn't. There is another dialog which lists files which will be
reverted, even if there is only one.

That's because there is no need to show the list dialog - the commit
dialog is already a list - so an intermediate warning is needed.

Generally, adding extra 'are you sure?', 'no, are you really, really
sure' dialogs is counter productive because people get used to them and
always click OK anyway.
