I get what you mean, but really, the command is rewinding the index backwards in time by one ”snapshot”, i.e. commit, which is not a snapshot in the meaning that it would contain the entire filesystem tree at time of commit. > cp file newFile, I don’t need to know Depends on what you intend to do with that file. If you’re fine with the British Railways approach / eventual consistency and don’t need distributed file access, I suppose you don’t need to know.
