I love the 'infinite' undo feature in emacs (this is coming from a
reformed vi hack). But I don't like the way that the undo becomes part
of the buffer's command history. I'd like to see something that
behaves like this:

Given and emacs buffer's command history:

(oldest command)
.
.
.
.
.
. undo
. \
. <- Current command pointer
. /
. redo
.
.
.
.
.
.
(newest_command)


The idea being that if you undo, you move down the history, and a redo
will move up the history. If you have undone a bunch of stuff, and
then do any command other than a redo, the 'future' history (the stuff
that was undone) is lost. This seems to be more intuitive to me.

Has anyone implemented a package that does this?

Thanks.
