Public bug reported:

The razor tool allows me to slice a video. So far so good. However, I
realize that I did cut it too early or too late, and I'd like to re-
merge the slices, and slice it again. Then I start looking for some way
to do it --- I've spent an hour trying to find a way until I gave up :).
I think this is somewhat frustrating user experience, I wonder if it was
hard to provide a re-merge?

(In the version I first tried the extra-frustrating thing was that undo
would undo much more than I wished. Now it is better: it actually does
undo only the slicing, although there is no visual feedback (e.g.
changing menu label) to make me relaxed by letting me know what exactly
undo will do? For example, if I do a slice, then I switch back to
pointer mode, shift-click one part, then I do undo, it will undo _both_
operations, the removal of a clip and the slice as well.)

This is 3 separate bugs of course:
- the un-slice functionality (which I care the most)
- undo does not let me know what it will do
- undo actually has a bug when the order of operations is: slice, delete one of them then undo)
