Why do you need to revert? If you answer 'n' (= NO), the compilation
will use the version on disk, without saving your edits. You can
later revert the buffer, but that's a separate operation.
IOW, if all you want is to revert the buffer _without_ compiling, just
type C-g to abort "M-x compile" and then revert.
