Turns out that hte update to libunistring broke a lot of stuff (including
git) because several critical ports that reference it did not get their
PORT_REVISION bumped. That now appears to have been done and I should be
good to  go shortly. I copied libunistring.so.2.2.0 from another system to
allow me to do a pull.

I'd still like to know how to revert a commit locally, though.
