I don’t understand this option name.  Can you explain?

It actually seems misleading to me since I’d intuitively think of ‘redo’
as the opposite of ‘rollback’.

I would suggest using a better name.  Someone suggested ‘--fast’ as an
alias for ‘--no-pull --no-build-nix’ recently.  What do you think?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
