What? Undo an old check out? You mean like unreturn something?
There is no code to do that. If you want to unreturn something, you just reissue it.

It is just a history file, if it just auto_incremented the same way as issues does
then the whole problem goes away.

I see no more advantage to having no issues_id, than to have one that auto increments.
You'd still have to have a custom query either way if someone did decide to write
a bizarre piece of code that unreturned items. (Please no one do this, it's a horrible idea)
