Take a look at swsusp patches. With your snapshotting-filesystem-possibility, it should be possible to have "global undo".
I.e. at 21:30 I do system snapshot. At 21:50 I delete my dev which makes me unhappy. At 21:51 I issue undo which brings 21:30 state EVEN WITH RUNNING PROCESSES back.
(Imagine: running complicated game that does not allow you to save game. And what? You just snapshot full system :-).
I did not look at your code, but it looks sexy. Pavel -- I'm pavel@ucw.cz. "In my country we have almost anarchy and I don't care." Panos Katsaloulis describing me w.r.t. patents me at discuss@linmodems.org
