I highly doubt that. Why, what happened?

There is no reason to need an undo. A 'redo' may be in order, however, if it was run when other users were connected to the project...

It's not possible. No record is kept of the state of indexes prior to rebuild. (The only choices in any case are "rebuild required" or "rebuild not required".)

Craig's observation that reindexing will fail with other users in the project is accurate. You must, in this case, reindex with no users in the project; the failed build will leave some indexes in a "rebuild required" state.
