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.
