Feature request in MTools: revert to previous state

[shahpnmlab]

When refining parameters in M, one is likely to run into a situation that would lead to a worse reconstruction compared to the previous iteration. In such cases, the user has to not only manually copy over the files from the versions folder in the species directory but also the TS xml files that refer to the reverted species. As such, this is a process that is fraught with user error. I was wondering if you would be OK with implementing a revert feature in MTools that would achieve this? Perhaps flags such as --revert_to <species_hash> --delete_latest (incase the user does not want a build up of useless failed attempts?)

good suggestion, thanks!
