Done.

For revert, the summary should presumably look like whatsnew -s. For
unpull/unrecord, should it run annotate -s for each patch, or just
display the patch names?

The advantage of showing the summary is that it gives a reminder of
the contents of the patch, so people can double-check that it's the
one they want before binning it. The disadvantage is that in the
case of multiple patches selected, the list of patches (which is far
more important) will be obscured by other information, and may even
vanish off the top of the scrollback buffer.
