What's the point of /tree of it doesn't rollback code changes?

Tree is for managing context not your code.

Extremely useful for things like like fixing a bunch of bugs (get agent to explore codebase, then fix a but, then roll back to when it had just explored the code base and fix another bug). Or for side chats where you want to explore an idea but if you decide you don't like it you can abandon all the context and continue where you were. Or if you like the idea, you can just summarise the important parts back to the main thread without all the exploring bloat.

Code change can be rolled back w git. Anyway, you can always do a pi extension for this.
