The recursive/non-recursive behaviour of various Subversion commands is
likely to change at some point to a --depth=[0|1|infinite] or something
similar, because recursive/non-recursive doesn't give you enough
options.

"svn revert" uses depth 0, unless you specify --recursive, in which case
it's infinite. There's no way to get depth 1 safely. The closest
approximation would be "svn revert *" but you might prefer:

$ find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 svn revert

Hope that helps :)
