Answer 1

You need the recursive flag

svn revert -R .

Your command will only revert things on the folder, e.g. svn-property changes, not on files or folders below.

Answer 2

You could also DELETE the changed file, then do an UPDATE from anyplace above it on the folder tree.

SVN "updates" missing files by putting them back!
