Maybe unrelated, but I remember a couple of developers on my team getting
hit with revert-when-they-needed-update somehow when we switched to
Mercurial.  I *really* think the text here should indicate something more
like "use --all to discard changes to all files", etc.  "Discard" is a good
word because it makes the ears perk up -- "Discard . . . that means throw
away . . . I won't be able to get them back?!".

Cheers,
