I would actually argue that git checkout -b newbranch <undo-point> is the perfect undo. It leaves the old state in the old branch, and creates a new branch (and checks it out) with the state you want to revert to. The advantage is exactly that there is no "stack" of undo's: you can have multiple independent undo's pending, and you can continue development at any of them. And merge the results together. Of course, right now we don't have a "delete branch" command, but it's really as simple as rm .git/refs/heads/branchname (and eventually you may want to do a "git prune" to get rid of stale objects, but that's a separate issue).
