Oh, you can script it more faithfully than that:

tla delta $(tla logs -f|tail -n 1) $(tla tree-root) "$(tla 
tree-root)/,,undo-$next"
tla apply-changeset --reverse "$(tla tree-root)/,,undo-$next" $(tla 
tree-root)

Undo is all about convenience.  There's nothing unique that it does.

And yes, I do plan to turn it into a script. >:-)

There are scripts to do that, patches to do that, and feature plans to 
do that.
