It would be nice if `bzr revert --help` would tell a word that it
only affetcs the working tree.

  Giving a list of files will revert only those files.  Otherwise, all files
  will be reverted.  If the revision is not specified with '--revision', the
  last committed revision is used.

Describing the command "revert" with "it reverts ... files" is
maybe not clear enough.

Have a nice day,
