But the whole point of this dialog is to prevent accidental data loss.

Don’t use a default button if the most likely action is dangerous—
for example, if it causes a loss of user data. When there is no
default button, pressing Return or Enter has no effect; the user
must explicitly click a button. This guideline protects users from
accidentally damaging their work by pressing Return or Enter. You
can consider using a safe default button, such as Cancel.
I have to say that I'm not a fan of this sort of dialog ('you clicked
Revert, are you sure you really meant to click Revert?') in general.
It's better than nothing, which is why it's there now, but better
would be to provide undo capability. That may be beyond the present
scope of the Subversion bundle, however. It opens up a pretty large
can of worms.
