'hg help revert' is misleading

[Zbynek Winkler]

Hello, IMHO the output of 'hg help revert' is misleading or the revert 
command does not do what it is supposed to.

$ hg help revert
hg revert [-n] [-r REV] [NAME]...

revert modified files or dirs back to their unmodified states

options:

 -n --nonrecursive  don't recurse into subdirs
 -r --rev           revision

According to this description I would expect it to behave like 
(fictious) 'hg update -C [NAME]'. I would expect it to revert all 
changes pending in my working copy. I don't understand what the '-r REV' 
is for...

How do I return part of my working tree to an unmodified state?

Thanks.

Zbynek
