Sorry, I do not see why per-file revisioning is mandatory.
Wouldn't revert or edit of a single page be just a new commit of
the new whole tree with just a single path changed?

I understand that whole tree history may not be much useful in
Wiki environment, but I do not see why it would hurt to have a
whole tree history (except perhaps the commit log may not be
very useful).

In fact, wouldn't svnwiki already does the same thing?
