It works like this:

  1. Every StGit command that modifies anything writes the new state
     to a log. The log is a git branch called <branchname>.stgit.

  2. When you've done something you regret, find the state in the log
     you want to return to and just say (for example)

       $ stg reset master.stgit~3

     Resetting is recorded in the log just like everything else, so to
     undo a reset you just did, simply say

       $ stg reset master.stgit^

There are lots of things that have to be ironed out before it's done,
especially the UI, but it's ready for folks to play with and comment
on.
