I'm sorry you lost work. The bug that you hit had been there for ages - it wasn't new. But it was obscure. You were just the first to stumble over it. Sorry. If you had done "fossil undo" immediately, that should have worked. I guess the "fossil revert" overwrote the undo stack. Maybe to prevent this, I should implement a multi-level undo? Does anybody have any other suggestions on how to prevent the lose of uncommitted work? In any event, the bug is fixed now. Thanks for your advocacy, Zed.
