In your opinion is it better piggy backing on that (which I could understand
to actually be quite complicated), or use a simple implementation to just
do revert, which is actually quite simple, since you don't need to handle
any actual merging.

I'm in no way tied to the revert patch I wrote, and would be happy to just
hook it up to the merge stuff if that is best.
