(Asking users what they think they'd prefer tends not to be that
effective.)

However, in this case I think the analysis seems reasonable: "monotone
revert" to revert the whole working copy seems an unusual
command---probably less common than "monotone revert" to get a help
message to tell you how to use "monotone revert".  So adding a "--all"
option to say you do mean that seems like a good option.  Mostly I
suspect people want to revert individual files or paths (that's
certainly what I do most often), so making those continue to work
seems good.

"monotone ls changed" seems like a good idea.  I often use "monotone
status" to get exactly that information.
