hmm that sounds interesting, but
a) it lacks much documentation (how does that with the generations work?
when is there a new generation? what, if the generation overflows?)
b) it seems to only show me new files, but not files that have been
moved, or removed, or when properties have changed.
c) it seems to work only for one subvolume?
Cheers,
Chris.
