How does Vim support this concept? I mean what does happen when you go back 30 steps then type something new?

I've been using Vim for a few years now but never heard of this before. This interesting to me.

It stores your undo history as a tree so you can have multiple "heads". Check out https://github.com/sjl/gundo.vim to see a screenshot, I'm sure you'll understand then.
