There has been much recent discussion about how to undo changes in GNU
Emacs.  C-_ can undo recent changes.  When Emacs has undone all that it
remembers (when it has reached the end of the change history), it reverses
the undo direction, and 're-does' the changes it just 'undid', one step at
a time.

QUESTION: Is there any way to reverse the direction of the undo without
going 'all the way back' to the end of the change history first?  

Sometimes I need to undo a sequence of changes, and I undo *one step too
far*.  It would be nice not to have to cycle all the back to the end of
the change history to re-do an accidental undo.
