So Unison only supports a single level on undo, too? Hard to believe of
a modern Cocoa application.

It's limited in many ways.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.

MT-NW makes the user initiate everything. It doesn't autofetch headers,
and it doesn't queue up downloads. That is a bit of a pain when it
comes to a lot of binary groups that have 100K+ posts every day. On the
flip side, MT-NW is very scriptable, and I long ago wrote a script that
goes through all my groups and pre-fetches as many headers as it can.
That speeds user-oriented things up greatly. Unison, sadly, was
sloooooooow in downloading headers, so it keeping a database locally
wasn't a win, and the crappy filtering made me ditch it althogether.
Since binary groups are so much more full of junk than regular groups,
not having adequate filtering is simply a non-starter.
