Hi!

I found the item "checkpoint rollback" in the todo-list. By "checkpoint
rollback" you mean discarding all changes since a given checkpoint?

Such a feature would be *very* nice! I can't imagine that it should be very
complicated to implement, but I might be wrong.

In SIMPLUX (a live distribution) users shall have a chance to abolisch
all changes made in a session. So I would create a snapshot at each startup and
remove all checkpoints created afterwards to revert to the previous state if
user decides to do so.

Greetings, Michael
