Suicide Linux (2011)

Hammer is very much like having your entire filesystem in git.

https://www.dragonflybsd.org/hammer/

"HAMMER retains a fine-grained history. The state of the filesystem can be accessed live on 30-60 second boundaries without having to make explicit snapshots, up to a configurable fine-grained retention time.

A convenient undo command is provided for single-file history, diffs, and extractions. Snapshots may be used to access entire directory trees."

edit:

Just now, 10 minutes after posting this, I regretted deleting a file (cabal.sandbox.config) and was able to restore it:

    > rm cabal.sandbox.config // oops
    > undo -i cabal.sandbox.config
    cabal.sandbox.config: ITERATE ENTIRE HISTORY
	    0x000000010bf2e940 17-Apr-2015 06:50:48
	    0x0000000112282990 18-Apr-2015 20:36:53
    > undo -t 0x0000000112282990 -o cabal.sandbox.config cabal.sandbox.config

That's seriously cool. What's the stability/speed like?

Looks quite good: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/performance/

I'm not really sure how to benchmark it myself, those are from 2012 and I'm sure things have improved since then.
