I don’t believe that NILFS2 is quite the same thing.

In HTFS, you turn versioning on or off on a per-directory basis, and then each individual file in that directory is versioned independently.

NILFS2 looks more like whole filesystem snapshotting, which is further away from the classic versioned filesystem approach
