I'm not suggesting ripping out existing tla code and scripting it, just that I
agree with some people on the list that certain operations can be done that
way especially if 1) not performance sensitive, mostly usability improvements
and 2) implementing them in C would mean another mostly copy pasted file in
libarch-cmd adding to the maintenance costs of the source.

The only thing I said is that making one of the few wrappers 'official' would
seem like a good thing to me.

I know. That's why I implemented it, use it and made the patch public on your
graciously provided (thanks) sourcecontrol.net :)
I thought we were talking about tla revert of a single file not of selective
undo.

By the way I have a wrapper too (the only one I wrote and use BTW)

tla-revert:
#!/bin/sh

cp -f `tla file-find $1` $1
