Comment (by joehoyle):

 Unless it's needed, I'm not sure _why_ we would want to add this. I
 believe they are there in the Posts Controller because there's some
 internal WP functions that require these globals to be set, so we had to
 make $post global. If that's not explicitly needed in the revisions
 endpoint, I don't think we should add it. All filters in the Revisions
 controller should get passed the Request or WP_Post object, so I'm not
 sure why you'd want to do `get_post()` with not ID param.
