I found the part about the auto saved files.  Pretty cool.
But still in this particular case none of them are really right
either.  Other changes are evident in them that I don't want reverted.

I really just needed to erase an imported *.qxf file that I allowed to
be swallowed without adjusting each transaction for the other half.

A mass delete of some kind would be nice.  I'm probably overlooking
some technique that allows that.
