So, I dunno.
That looks good. And the transformations are just:
Revert " → Reapply "
Reapply " → Revert^3 "
Revert^<n> " → Revert^<n+1> "
i thought about that already, and concluded that it's getting a bit "too
nerdy" and over-engineered.
the main motivation for me is to break the dogmatism with which some
people are approaching the matter - "$tool did it, so it is _the_ way".
set an example where the tool does something "humane", and you may
change some minds.
when it gets to round 3 of reverting, i expect people to get creative:
Revert "foo" again
Reapply "foo", take 2
etc.
but i don't mind, as long as `Revert "Revert "Revert "foo"""` cannot be
argued to be canon any more.
