Reverting a Core Data document is tricky.  Apple's recommended methods are 
given here:

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/NSPersistentDocumentTutorial/04_Department/department.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002832-SW6

But you should also read these:

http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/174292-bug-nspersistentdocument-core-data-tutorial.html#174292
http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/177523-bug-nspersistentdocument-core-data-tutorial.html#177523

Since "Revert" is not a major advertised feature of the app I was working on, 
after trying unsuccessfully to make it work for an hour or so,  I gave up and 
implemented Revert to simply close and re-open the document.  It's a little 
slow and ugly, but it works, and eliminates a branch of regression 
possibilities.
