Undelete messes up ownership and history
Summary: I believe the problem is that Undelete is implemented as "re-add". It needs to fix these fields as it does so.
From Eric:
I accidentally deleted the wrong Thing, and clicked "click here to undelete it".
The undelete appeared to hang (with an eventual message of "There was an internal error (code 504)! Sorry; it has been logged. If this persists, please tell us."), but did mostly work.
However, rather than restoring the Thing entirely, its _creator was changed to me, and its _createTime was changed to the time it was undeleted.
