Technically, you're looking for "unhid" ("hid" is the proper
tense in this context).  But there's no such word in any tense.
What you want is "exposed".  The opposite of hide is
expose, not unhide.  Someone should clean up English to give
us unhide etc.  The good news is if you can get your friends to
use unhide enough, it becomes "proper English".

You don't want an error message when this is done.  Because
if you have 10 files and you've changed 6 of them genuinely,
but the other 4 you made a change, but then changed your mind,
so reversed out the change, then you are left with 4 files that
have changed their timestamp but there is no change.  You don't
want an error on those 4 files.

This may be a problem though.  I wonder if it is related to this
one, which bit me?
