I wish I had known that command about 10 minutes ago :-)

Thanks, good to know for the future.

It would be even better if I didn't have to delete these files. Just 
because Monotone is not tracking them doesn't mean that they are not 
useful. My TODO list, a library, a quick test file, etc. Those are all 
legitimate reasons to have files that are not tracked.

Over-all I am concerned about the process of un-doing a commit. What I 
want is a functional equivalent of Monotone acting as if I had not done 
the commit yet. I don't want it to nuke my files or revert my changes.


Cheers,
Daniel.
