[ggo-discussion] Undo problem

Currently the Undo button in own games does not work. There is a server bug
with the undo command, it does not accept "undo <gameid>", however this is
required for multiple games. Generally for multiple games the syntax
"<command> <gameid>" is used, but this currently does not work for handicap
and undo.

Now, gGo sends "<command> <gameid>" in all games, but for undo this is not
accepted by IGS, even in single games only, as the server then takes the
gameid parameter as number of moves to undo.

A simple workaround for you now is to type "undo" manually in the
commandline. A workaround for gGo might be to check if you are playing
multiple games, and then change the command. But this is particulary ugly. I
am currently in contact with PandaNet about a couple of server problems, and
we are looking for a solution which would not break the majority of clients.
I am reluctant to change gGo now before I know how the final server syntax
will look like, but having a broken client is also unpleasant.
