hg revert only updates the working directory, but not the dirstate
information, so e.g. 'hg diff' will now show the differences between
revision 5 and whatever was checked out before.

Use 'hg update 5' (and maybe add the -C option if some files
don't get updated) to really do a checkout of this revision.
