How to restore a canceled changeset in TFS?

In Visual Studio 2013 Update 3, I accidentally checked for a non-compiling set of changes during the work that I intended to postpone so that the employee could take it. I immediately discarded the changes. Poorly.

Is there a way to restore this set of changes / rollbacks as pending changes so that I (or my colleague) can continue to work on it? I have not seen anything in the user interface and must manually pull out each file and create the pending changes manually. It was only 20 minutes of work to encode it initially, so not such a big deal (it was my mistake), but I'm curious if there is a better way.

As mentioned in the comments, you can "rollback rollback." I do this all the time. Just find the rollback changeset in the history and drop it back, and it will receive your complete changes in your local workspace so that you can continue to work on them and check them when this is done.
