Json and difflib won't work well together, unless you make a diff per field, which will add overhead. Look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4599456/textually-diffing-json
Reverting is returning to a previous state. Just run all diffs from the first commit until you reach the desired state. It would be great that it showed side by side the older an newer values of each field in a table view and let you choose what you want to revert. Maybe text fields on the left, values on the right and a copy button on each side. Don't forget about foreign keys. A reversion might imply restoring a deleted item.
