Control: tags -1 upstream
Control: forwarded -1 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4622
Control: severity -1 normal

But see also the following thread I've started:
  https://lists.apache.org/thread/p1ky889bxwy8okqly7h1lgckxfpldnxs

There are actually 2 related issues:

1. "svn revert" wants to set the write permission (even if there
   are no changes), and if the file was regarded as read-only, a
   confusing "Reverted" message is output.

2. The consequence of 1 is possibly repeated "Reverted" messages
   if the file belongs to a different user.

In my case, the cause was that the concerned files were belonging to
root (this was a mistake). So this was issue 2 (and partially 1).

The upstream bug currently corresponds to issue 2 only.

But I think that issue 1 should also be regarded as a bug, unless
there is a good reason for "svn revert" to set the write permission
(to be discussed upstream). In case the behavior will not change,
the output message would need a clarification.
