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.
