A little more clearly:

concordia ~/test$ bzr init
concordia ~/test$ echo "priceless data" > text
concordia ~/test$ bzr commit -m unchanged --unchanged
concordia ~/test$ bzr add text 
added text
concordia ~/test$ bzr revert
concordia ~/test$ cat text
cat: text: No such file or directory
concordia ~/test$ 

That's a bug. At the time of the commit, "text" is unknown, so revert should 
restore it to that state - not delete it.
