Using the rollback button or manual reverts? I thought I'd already done this for rollback, but I could be wrong. Manual reverts would require some checking but is doable.
Manual. But your point is good; it's so easy to edit on a manual revert that the overlap of identical text might not be that large.
Note that if you're looking at a database imported from an XML dump, that's a totally different matter; at the moment the dump importers aren't smart enough to merge common text entries. (The XML dumps include plain text in order to isolate the public-consumable data from our ever-shifting implementation details.)
Right, I'm going off of a loaded XML dump, but was doing my own local manual reverts here to see how the DB behaved.
And isolation from impl details are appreciated. ;-)
