So I feel that an "undelete" button would be nice in v.digit/v.digspline.
Then selective undelete would be much easier. 
I will suggest that at Baylor for GRASS 5.0. We would need a button/key 
to display deleted vectors and a toggle button to toggle the status. I
hope that is not too difficult to add.
