Hi,

That weighs much heavier than that it would be hard to implement.  
When writing the patch, I spent 2 minutes thinking about a possible case 
where reverting a root commit would make sense.  And I came up with none.

It can be sensible to undo _parts_ of it, but then it is no longer about 
reverting the root commit, but about applying a partial patch with a new 
commit message, and we support that quite nicely already.

Ciao,
