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.

That's true, but you can use a 'git tag' command to mark the whole
stack as something useful and this would include the state of all the
patches on the stack. This would be a whole stack history, not
individual patch history. Maybe we should implement this as well (or
maybe only this).

Anyway, I wasn't sure that's the right implementation and that's why I
didn't include Chuck's patch yet.
