Comment (by siobhan):

 I was very confused by this situation today so it's good to see a ticket
 open about. Here's what happened:
 - opened a post and it said that there was a more recent autosave
 - clicked the autosave button and played around with the revisions.
 - Clicked the "compare any two revisions" button, looked at a bunch of
 those
 - finally decided that I didn't want to restore a revision as there was
 nothing relevant in the autosave. Since there was no obvious back button I
 clicked the browser back button in the browser but it goes through all of
 the revisions and takes ages to get back. It was very annoying as there
 was no simple way for me to get back to my post. I'd gone down the
 revisions rabbit hole but there was no quick way to leave without
 restoring a version.

 Also, and this may be an edge case, when I'm editing writers' work on a
 multi-author blog I use revisions functionality so that they can review
 the changes that I've made. I do the same when someone else has edited my
 work. In this case there wouldn't be a situation in which you would click
 "Restore this Revision" as it's used only as a reference.

 Drew's button make's sense, though I would change the text to "Go Back to
 Post". This makes it more specific while remaining translatable. "Go Back"
 could mean back to anything, including the post edit screen or dashboard,
 since they are also "back".
