This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
There is no option to cancel changes when in the Versioning Manager->edit dialog. This is a usability issue since the user cannot automatically undo any unwanted changes.
It was not planned to implement any undo of unwanted changes. All changes are propagated immediately. This is a sort of enhancement and there is no further development of old versioning support planned.
