hg forget has been deprecated, in favor of hg revert. I like the fact
that there's one less command to learn (for new users), but I am worry
each time I have to deal with hg revert. I just don't feel that it's
as safe as it should have been.

I like Benoit's idea on adding the options to select type of revert we
want to do. And in my case, --modified is what I'd really like to see
added.
