Re: [Phpwiki-talk] How to delete a specific revision?

[Joby W. <joby@u.washington.edu>]

It would certainly be possible, but there are complications.  The 
previous version points to the new version so not only would the 
revision in question be deleted but the version just prior would have to 
be modified.  It would also have to be an easily disabled function.  I 
certainly don't it to be possible in my project...
