Ideally, it would be possible to use something like this:

#!/sbin/evms -f

revert:/dev/evms/snap_racine:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_boot:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_usr:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_var:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_tmp:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_home:

as is done with similar interfaces.

I believe the only thing preventing this from working is that the CLI does
not treat lines starting with '#' as comments (I believe it uses C-style
comments).
