Yes. Keep the vcs command recommendations simple. At least mention idioms which likely to apply across a wider range of version control systems.
The revert works with svn, hg and bzr. Using patch is not going to work on Windoze unless cygwin has been installed. You don't need cygwin, just something much smaller with "GNU" in its name: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm
(yes, the suggestion is already in the dev guide)
Unfortunately gnuwin32 patch doesn't play well with Windows 7. I remember giving up on it completely and installing cygwin. This page seems to explain the details: http://math.nist.gov/oommf/software-patchsets/patch_on_Windows7.html Michael
