Description
Normally I'd do something like patch -p0 -R < patch_file_path.patch but if I'm using the (really rather brilliant) grunt patch:<some_url> then I don't have the file locally in order to undo that... do I?

Research direction
Start by reading the grunt patch:<some_url> task and checking how it applies a remote patch without retaining a local file. Determine whether a reverse operation can be defined and what state or patch data it would require; done means documenting or implementing a reliable way to undo an applied remote patch.
