Comment:

 I agree with most of what koke said. Here's what I would do:

 * Drop `wp.getRevision` and just use existing `wp.getPost`.
 * Drop `wp.newRevision` and just use existing `wp.newPost` or
 `wp.editPost` with `draft` or `autosave` as `post_status`.
 * `wp.getRevisions` should use `_prepare_post` with default fields of
 `ID`, `post_date`, and `post_date_gmt`. Method should take a `$fields`
 argument so that caller can customize returned fields (to avoid additional
 calls to `wp.getPost` if the caller knows it needs more than the ID and
 date).
 * `wp.restoreRevision`, fixed as stated by Marko and koke.
 * Expose `WP_POST_REVISIONS` in `wp.getOptions` as read-only `revisions`.
 * Add `autosave` to allowed list of post statuses in `_insert_post` (add
 additional case to the `switch ( $post_data['post_status'] )` statement).
