Implementing Undo for a Cut operation, against an NSManagedObject

Hi,
I'd like to be able to nicely undo a cut operation, for a managed coredata object.


My initial idea was something like this (where Preset is the managed object):

- (void) addPresetBack:(Preset*)preset {
	[presetsController insert:preset];
}

- (IBAction) cut:(id)sender {
	Preset *preset = [presetsController selectedObject];
	[self copy:self]; // store some interesting data in pasteboard
	NSUndoManager *undo = [self undoManager];
	[[undo prepareWithInvocationTarget:self] addPresetBack:preset];
	if(![undo isUndoing]) {
		[undo setActionName:NSLocalizedString(@"Cut", @"Cut")];
	}
	[presetsController removeObject:preset];
}

But I'm finding (probably quite sensible) that the preset is dead/ empty once I get back to addPresetBack. This makes sense, since removing it from the NSArrayController probably causes the object to be deleted from the current DB. Thus, when Undo is called, I end up inserting a blank object.

What's the recommended way to handle cut/undo style operations with CoreData?
