Clark:
This is a bit of a kibitz, but I still don't understand *why* anybody
would want to remove a change set. Why do people want this feature?
You can get exactly the same result in the source code by committing a
"correction", and it doesn't have any of the bad side effects. Isn't
that enough?
I find that I cheat most often to reverse an `import', sometimes
removing the entire version, branch, or category in the process.
Rarely but not never I undo a normal `commit' to what is an otherwise
very clean development line just because I can't stomach the "smudge"
left by a mistaken commit.
Of course, in all such cases, I'm operating in an environment where I
am absolutely certain what revision libraries and project trees to
also clean up, etc.
Arch *could* certainly automate that kind of cheating and, in spite of
the rumours, I'm all for that. That's not the same thing as being in
favor of a poor design/implementation of this feature, though.
