What if the user didn't realize he'd picked Revert?
That’s why the dialog says: Cancel / Revert -- not Cancel /
Continue :)
Many people, apparently including you, are prone to hitting return
really fast to dismiss dialogs. This is why return is suggested to
be cancel for potentially destructive actions.
I hit return really fast, when I expect the dialog.
E.g. I delete something, a dialog appears, and I sort of know what it
is about.
But if I do Subversion → Diff or similar, and a dialog appears, I
would stop and read, cause the dialog was not expected.
Anyway, I really really hate dialogs with switched buttons, and the
better solution is definitely making the operation undoable, as Chris
suggested -- so how about we copy the file (we are about to revert)
to ~/.Trash or similar?
Two questions:
1) what about reverting a folder, do we copy the full folder?
2) how do you make it obvious to the user that he can undo what he
just did?
For #2 we could re-use the “info window” used with svn commit, so
it shows first the moving to trash, then the result of svn revert.
