I don't think that this commit is really related to the "rollback" discussion. There actually is commit ea8b9df12e38775600e850b8a57add2cf523bde5 Author: Eric S. Raymond Date: Thu Dec 11 22:44:32 2014 -0500 Remove VC rollback method. * vc/vc.el, vc/vc-hg.el, vc/vc-git.el, vc/vc-hooks.el, vc/vc-mtn.el, vc/vc-rcs.el, vc/vc-sccs.el, vc/vc-src.el: rrollback method removed, to be replaced in the future by uncommit. which has an author date 10 days later than the removal of the initial revision argument. Anybody interested in the historic context would likely have to check the 2014-11 and 2014-12 archives of emacs-devel. -- David Kastrup
