[Gnu-arch-users] Re: New aba command: revert

[Aaron Bentley]

Hi Robin,

Thanks.  I'll have a look at it later today.  James is responsible for 
tlacontrib, but he likes to have the original maintain their portions, 
so patches to aba go through me, patches to tla-archive-locate go 
through Gergely Nagy, etc...

Perhaps you need a MAINTAINERS file, James?

From your description, I'm not sure I understand; how does it differ 
from "tla undo revision?"
