how to "undo"

[Steve Dodd]

Hmm, I think there should be warnings for deleting transactions unless you've 
deleted them. Not sure how to go about re-enabling them.

You could rollback to a backup before the deletion, then edit the log files to 
remove the deletion and then play them back to recover your other changes. I 
think there is some docco somewhere on the log file format..

I know it was there earlier because it was already reconciled in my checking account. It was about to be reconciled in the credit card account; I got distracted and "whoops!" it was gone. Is there a way to step backward, undo-ing recent actions?
