Revert is a new opcode from Byzantium. When an execution throws, before Byzantium, all gas was consumed and the contract remained in the previous state (it rolled back). Now, it doesn't consume all gas, because with this opcode the execution get's reverted and the remaining gas gets returned to the function caller.
