You did type revert; this is what revert does.  I don't want to have
every command prompting me before it does what I asked it to.  "rm -R"
doesn't, despite having the potential to delete an entire filesystem.

Bazaar keeps backups of files it reverts so that an accidental revert
doesn't lose all your changes.  I think that's enough to let people
recover from an accidental revert.  Not as nice as it could be, but much
nicer than being prompted every time one reverts.  So your statement
"You are going to ... lost ALL your changes now" is misleading.  The
changes would not be irretrievably lost.

Any behavior like this would have to be optional (like rm -R -i),
because bzr is intended to support command-line scripting.  It would
probably have to default to "off", for backwards compatibility.  And as
a user, I certainly would want it off.

So because the message is misleading and the behavior's not optional, I vote
bb:resubmit
