The new 'Add From Local History' suffers from #12915. It works if the files were deleted
within the same session. However if you shut down and restart a workspace some deleted
files are nor listed.

The patch wizard no longer opens a Compare Editor but applies the
patch directly to the workspace. This will be the default.
In the future the old behavior of opening the Compare Editor will be
an additional option when finishing the wizard.
<br>
Patch wizard has a 'Reverse' option for applying a "reversed" patch.
This option can be used to 'undo' a patch.
