A possible approach would be that every undoable command could declare
its "undo" name.

 remove -> unremove

and then display both the do and undo command in the commands list:

 (un)remove       remove the specified files on the next commit

alternatively, we could provide a generic "undo" command that could be
used as:

 undo remove
 undo add
 ...

which is something that would limit command clutter, and provide helpful
functionality.
