It might be nice if revert did this too.

I think it'd be a nice feature.

Another option, though a bit handwavey at this point, would be to have
an extra mini repository in the workingtree that holds uncommitted or
reverted changes.

In this vein it would also be nice to record the tip we had before
pull, so you could undo-pull.
