Michael Niederle @ 2009-06-11 6:34 UTC (permalink / raw) To: users-JrjvKiOkagjYtjvyW6yDsg 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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Nilfs can change checkpoints to snapshots in later. So, I think the rollback feature should inherit this characteristics. That is, rollback without a prior make-snapshot operation.
