That doesn't connote "taking something out" to me.

In common usage, you revert *to* a previous state.  That's also the
usage in programs like Photoshop, where you can revert *to* the
last-saved version.  So I think the common expectation is for revert to
change everything to a previous state, not to reverse particular changes.

If it didn't sound so similar to revert, I might suggest "reverse-changes".
