The problem with "edit + save" is that it has to be a form button
and not a simple "<a href=...>" link, unless you want various poorly-behaved
robots to be activating all of your "edit+save" restore links for you.  
1/2 :-)

It *is* a config.php item (as are most things) -- just set the
value of $DiffRestoreFmt:

    $DiffRestoreFmt = "<div class='diffrestore'><a 
      href='\$PageUrl?action=edit&amp;restore=\$DiffId'>Edit page without
      above changes</a></div>";

Or if you want the edit+save all-in-one functionality, then maybe (untested):

    $DiffRestoreFmt = "<div class='diffrestore'><form method='POST'
      action='\$PageUrl'><input type='hidden' name='n' value='\$FullName' 
      /><input type='hidden' name='restore' value='\$DiffId'
      /><input type='submit' name='post' 
      value=' Save page without above changes ' /></form></div>";

The real question here is "What should PmWiki default to?"
