You create a new file called 'foo:121212121212'. If you then modify it, you could access the old version as foo:121212121212:0.
(The .snapshot directory makes more sense than magic names, since you can see what versions of a file are available without a special tool). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
