+>>>
+>>> And the mechanics of handling reverting can quickly get complex.
+>>> Web reverting should only allow users to revert things they can edit,
+>>> but reverting a whole commit in git might touch multiple files.
+>>> Some files may not be editable over the web at all. (The
+>>> [[tips/untrusted_git_push]] also has to deal with those issues.)
+>>> Finally, a revert can fail with a conflict. The revert could touch
+>>> multiple files, and multiple ones could conflict. The conflict may
+>>> involve non-page files that can't be diffed. So an interface for
+>>> resolving such a conflict could be hard.
+>>>
+>>> Probably web-based reverting would need to be limited to reverting
+>>> single file changes, not whole commits, and not having very good
+>>> conflict handling. And maybe only being accessible for changes
+>>> still visible on RecentChanges. With those limitations, it's certianly
+>>> doable (as a plugin even), but given how excellent `git revert` is in
+>>> comparison, I have not had a real desire to do so. --[[Joey]]
