When using amend-record or record --ask-deps, you get two patch selection dialogs in row. If during the second one, you spot a mistake you did in the first one, there's no way to come back. Using 'q' (or maybe 'k' on the first question) should allow you to return to the previous dialog.

Rollback is similarly affected. I think 'q' would be confusing: if I hit 'q' I want to quit not to be brought back a dialogue. I guess I would grudgingly accept that hitting 'k' to go back up might work although I also think it would be confusing (but I also don't want to add another keypress)... Generally speaking I'm a bit unhappy about this two-selection-dialogue scenario. Don't get me wrong: what it allows you to do is great. I just think the transition between the two is a bit abrupt. But I don't know any better way :-(
