There's a difference when there are unrecorded changes.
'unpull' will try to commute the undoing past the unrecorded
changes, leaving them intact, and fail with an error if it's
impossible.  'unrecord' will, without warning, merge the
new unrecorded changes with the current ones, and in case
of a conflict (where 'unpull' would have failed) they melt
together and can not be reverted independently.
