I think you're right -- a Revert or Cancel not even be necessary, since
nothing actually happens unless the user clicks Save.
And yes, it would be very easy to throw up a dialog if users click onto
another event without saving, and ask if they wanted to save their
changes to the currently selected event.

I believe they use the term 'Reset'. I've also seen 'Clear form' on long

I'm not sure if it really makes sense here to cancel the changes you've
made and reverts back to detail view since the changes don't take affect
until you've saved it. Those buttons are also used when you have a lot
of form elements or made numerous changes to different parts of say
'settings' in a dialog box.
I would assume that if you didn't really want to make the changes you
would click away and there might be a dialog that pops up and ask: 'Do
you want to save the changes you've made?', yes/no.
