would revert the patch back to the way it was in change 45.  notably, 
you don't throw away changes 46 through 90 when you do this.  a new 
change is added which changes the state of the patch to the way it was 
in change 45.  (well, that's how it's supposed to work, anyway).

i'm interested to hear what folks on the list think of the idea.

I'm probably not familiar enough with stgit, but it
looks to me as though you're tracking individual patch history only.

In trees I work with, patches rarely stand alone.  There are typically
collections of patches implementing a given feature, or a change to one
patch requires rebasing a number of (perhaps unrelated) others.

I think the command set you describe above will lose that grouping.
