As a user not claiming to be an expert in the theory of revision
control systems, but merely a native speaker with an appreciation for
the precision of terms, I must say that it's pretty clear to me that
the entire point of the term "obliterate" is the irretrievability of
it.  If it becomes possible to undo the effects of an "obliterate"
operation, then it absolutely must be renamed.
