What you want is, if I understand you correctly, the workview. By making
B a subtask of A, A will never be in the workview as long as B is not
completed. Personally, I'm nearly always in workview mode to have the
behaviour you described.

Yep, Undo/redo should be nice but it's not an easy thing to do. We
planned it (Bertrand even added the icons) but we never did the
implementation. It's also not really clear what undo should do. For the
delete function, I think it's closely related to the following
discussion :

Tarballs are linked here :

But if you plan to play with code, I strongly suggest you to use bzr.
Simply do :

bzr branch lp:gtg

and you will have the full source. You can play with it, even commit
your stuffs locally and if you developed something interesting, it's
really easy to send your patch as a merge. Really, DVCS (and bzr)
rocks ! :-)
