revert: rewrite help summary New users have a tendency to mistake 'revert' as the command to use to check out old revisions. They also occasionally mistake revert for a generalized undo (compare rollback). This version intentionally aims to avoid mentioning 'earlier' and thus intentionally no longer alludes to the (secondary) -r behavior (which in fact is not actually limited to 'earlier'). Instead, we mention checkout state, to convey that we can restore things to the way they were when checked out.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.
The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".
If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.
A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
