I checked to see how other programs behave in this context, and Word,

revert to an older version.
Also fine (and, temptingly, less code).
I'll make my previous suggestion again: Switch to the open document, but
then (if the document is dirty) issue the "Do you want to revert?"
message. A bit more code, but I think it could be confusing to switch to
a document that wasn't the same as the one on disk that you thought you
were opening.
