Please give me some minimal benefit of a doubt. I already read
all the docs on my machine that I found relevant, including
"bzr help revert".
First, what it says on my system does not include this part:

I use the latest stable release, 2.0.3.
More importantly, this addition, while it does help somewhat, still
falls short of making the effect clear. What is a ``list of pending
merges''? (This was already explained in this thread, but the docs
don't explain that.) What are ``other parent revisions''? Without
knowing that, it is impossible to understand the net effect this
command will produce.
