docs don't sufficiently explain difference between update and revert

I'm not sure about the 'bzr revno --tree' bug, but I think you are confused. revert is *not* the same as update, because revert *intentionally* doesn't change the working tree revision pointer. Specifically so that if you are at rev 10, and want to undo the previous commit, you can "bzr revert -r -9; bzr commit" to create revision 11 like things were at rev 9.

Oh, thanks for that information. The doc needs to be clearer on that point.

Wow. This bug is old! I don't even use bzr anymore; I switched to git along
with everyone else.
