I am not sure that "Révoquer" is better than "Annuler".
Perhaps "Inverser"?
   I suggested "révoquer" because it was close enough to "revert" that
there was no need to specify "(revert)" in the translation itself.
It's what the French Wikipedia interface used to say to revert edits.
But I see they now use "défaire" (undo), so apparently they deemed
it inappropriate for some reason. I have no strong preference for
"Inverser" or even "Annuler", I just want it to be consistent and to get
rid of the "(revert)" at the end of this message.
   Sorry, I misread the Wikipedia interface because I wasn't logged in
and only admins can truly revert edits. So it does have "revert" (to
cancel an edit) and "undo" (to perform the opposite edit of a given
edit), which get translated to "révoquer" and "défaire". I therefore
think "révoquer" is just as good as the others.
