I am not sure that "Révoquer" is better than "Annuler".

Perhaps "Inverser"?

   Sorry, I misread the Wikipedia interface because I wasn't logged in
and only admins can truly revert edits.

I don't think that we have to conform to Wikipédia.

                                        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.

I disagree here.

"Annuler", "Révoquer", "Inverser" or "Défaire" usualy stands for the
same thing but : 
- thoses words doesn't have stricly the same meanings ;
- we are in a special case here because of the underlying technical
  result.

We should care that the revert operation does *not* remove a commit but
add a new one (this makes sense to Git). As a consequence, we should avoid
"Annuler", "Révoquer" and "Défaire".

"Inverser" looks like the best translation.
