[TYPO3-dev] problems with the new cmd undelete in T3 4.0

[Michael Stucki]

Hi Joey,

I agree to the problem but I'm not sure if it even makes sense to fix it for
now. I just thought about the reference index which is most likely ignored
by this feature, isn't it?

For me the easiest solution is to drop the undelete feature for now and add
it again when we have API functions to undelete records (should be the case
in 5.0 I suppose...).

PS: I think the same problem also applies to Sebastians extended
Undo/History feature. If you read this, please check...
