This is a very difficult to solve situation.
I don't really see how to avoid it, since it's Basic Stupidity 1 on 1.
If you use a Ginsu knife to carve your meat, you can also cut yourself,
but the Ginsu knife makers can't really do much about it other than
warning in the case label's.
What could be done is provide a warning about that when you:
a) activate revisions
b) save as a _new_ name, export, etc...
c) put a checkbox on the save as dialog/export to clear revisions
None of these choices excludes any others, and none require any of the
others.
Other/more suggestions?
