There is one for SCCS in old VC if you want to look at it. I
think I at one point implemented it for one other backend, but
the code and concept were so dodgy that I decided it was best
shot through the head.
here is the implementation i use for cvs:
(defun ttn-cvs-cancel-version (file editable)
"Undo the most recent checkin of FILE then do \"cvs update\".
EDITABLE non-nil means do \"cvs edit\" afterwards."
(unless (and (stringp vc-mode)
(string= " CVS-" (substring vc-mode 0 5)))
(error "File locally modified, aborting"))
(let ((rev (substring vc-mode 5)))
(vc-cvs-command nil 0 file "admin" (concat "-o" rev))
(vc-cvs-command nil 0 file "update")
(when editable
(vc-cvs-command nil 0 file "edit"))))
(defun ttn-cvs-rollback (files)
;; Usage: (defalias 'vc-cvs-rollback 'ttn-cvs-rollback)
"Undo the most recent checkin of FILE then do \"cvs update\"."
(ttn-cvs-cancel-version (car files) nil))
although rollback and cancel-version, before that, are shunned, i
find them useful for lone-programmer (ttn-only) situations where
admin/recovery overhead for mistakes is tolerable. i think we
should provide them but continue to urge their avoidance for
shared-repo situations, however. the "we don't provide it because
you shouldn't do that" tone has always bothered me gutterally.
