That undo program is called nilfs2, which unfortunately never became popular. I'll simply quote the kernel docs:

> NILFS2 is a log-structured file system (LFS) supporting continuous snapshotting. In addition to versioning capability of the entire file system, users can even restore files mistakenly overwritten or destroyed just a few seconds ago.
