Just some thoughts about this... I was more thinking about the repeat feature
of Vi/Vim (the '.' command) than the redo one.

Two other ways of doing the undo/redo:

1/ Save the actions using a data type that we can inverse.
   Example in Ruby syntax
   a = Action.add_labels(:foo, :bar)
   a.apply # actually do the job
   a.invert # equals to Action.remove_labels(:foo, :bar)

2/ Save the state (has to be defined) at each action.
   This solution would be limited to actions where the state is manageable.

Best regards,
