Undoing a revert sounds very intuitive to me. The fact that it was missing before was sort of dangerous. And the confirmation dialog on the revert was no fun, I had my own solution for bypassing the warning. I see no reason for any additional warnings. If you can undo revert, the natural assumption should be that you can keep doing undo. I assume this change kills off the old confirmation about reverting.
