I'm not sure that (unlaterally) adding new words will do anything but
exacerbate the problem.

Except that we can obliterate more than once; "hg rollback" is really
only there so that when you interrupt a commit, it can get back to a
coherent state :-/
$ hg init
$ touch x y
$ hg add -q
$ hg ci -m x x
$ hg ci -m y y
$ hg rollback
rolling back last transaction
$ hg rollback
no rollback information available
$ # Damn, you are stuck with the x patch FOREVER.
