Hello,

I think that this used to be different. Now it works like this: 

1- Edit a directory.
2- Modify some files.
3- Commit the directory. Only the modified files get committed, their
"edit" flag gets cleared, their revision number gets incremented.
4- Unedit the directory, to remove the edit flag from the files that didn't
get committed.

Step 4 is where the weird thing happens: the files committed in step 3 get
reverted to the revision prior to the commit. Since in step 4 they
shouldn't have their edit flag set, they shouldn't get unedited -- IMO. Am
I doing/seeing something wrong here? (BTW, this "works" also with single
files, of course. An unedit after an edit/modify/commit sequence reverts
the file to the revision prior to the commit.)

The workaround I'm using is to update after every unedit. And to unedit
after every commit. But that's a bit cumbersome, and also error-prone.
