Hi Karl,

Sorry for the delay, I've been really busy recently.

The current --undo flag restores the state of the patch before a
successful sync. If the sync fails with a conflict and it needs a
refresh after resolving, I think it loses the previous state of the
patch and just restores to whatever it was before the refresh.

The sync performs three operations - push, merge and refresh (if the
refresh is automatic after merge, it doesn't update the backup
information since it was done by merge).

If merge fails, the refresh is manual after solving the conflicts. I
suspect this will be recorded as a separate step for undo (BTW, is
resolved take into account for undo?).
