The only possible problem that was found with the code at that time was 
unedit -u only stripped the edit from the first branch found, so if the 
user had edited lots of branches it needed to be run multiple times. 
That has since been fixed.

unedit -u should be branch specific, and it isn't, which is a problem 
but not one that will be hit too often (the same person isn't likely to 
be editing multiple branches).

OTOH anyone who is finding they're using that command more than once 
ever couple of months has a training problem - it's an emergency getout 
for someone going on holiday and leaving their files edited, not a 
techincal solution to users not knowing how to use the tool - it leaves 
the client sandbox on the user in an indeterminate state, which can 
cause problems later.
