[OSM-talk] Brainstorming: Simple Revert-Tools

Oh no I would never want to write a tool that allow blind reverts! I'm 
writing a tool that will
  - make it easy to review all changes that reverting a changeset
    will apply to the data
  - visually show the data before/after the revert
  - choose which change should be reverted in which way
  - allow to see who reverted who's changesets and when

Not blind, but without too much work and with a comprehensive preview.

Doing sth. blind is never desirable, is it?
