yeah, but you could accidentaly hit a key and unintentionally destroy work. There is no "undo my mistaken undo-history-edit"...

that in practice and everyone who uses multiple undo for a while
knows that if you go back in history and change something, you're
'past future' is lost.

So merely giving a warning that changing something once you went back
in history will be beneficial for a small number of people, but
hugely annoying for the majority. In my opinion you should either
produce a nice multi-branch undo history (with very interesting UI-
challenges) or leave it as it is. I am aware it is a bit harsh, but
IMHO no-one who is doing serious design work with inkscape will be
surprised by this behavior, because there is no multi-branch-undo in
any (vector)drawing program.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

to help to do the UI-part of it, the programming part has to be done
by different minds though
