<http://www.venge.net/monotone/docs/Working-Copy.html#Working%20Copy> has:

monotone revert
    This command changes your working copy, so that changes you have
    made since the last checkout or update are discarded. It does this
    by changing every file listed in MT/manifest to have contents
    equal to the SHA1 value listed in the manifest, and by erasing the
    MT/work file.

So extending that a bit might help (presuming that people read
documentation, which is a dubious assumption, I know).
