FWIW, this is likely a feature/requirement of a system I'm planning,
since we'll be doing regular archiving of a wiki to a "heritage"
archive, with the requirement that a snapshot of the wiki for a given
timestamp be retrievable from the archive on demand. So in the next
6-9 months this will be something I'll be building if it's not
already available (though I may build it on top of the XNodeProvider
or whatever results from a cross between the XNodeProvider and priha).

Take a look at the issue's description:

Versioning and viewing the history is limited to one single page.

Imagine a bunch of pages which change frequently: their content, but also links 
and page names. Typically, at timestamp x, if there's a link from one page to 
another, their contents are related to one another in some way.

Now you're a user who wants to have a look at these pages as of timestamp x. 
The status quo is:
* you've got to manually select the suiting version for each page repeatedly
* if a page got renamed or deleted in the meantime, it's simply bad luck

With a time machine, you'd select the desired time once, and from then on the 
whole wiki is presented as of this timestamp.

PS: Well, ok, the renaming case is a problem, since the identifier changes... 
This would have to be taken care of, too, when modeling the repository.

                URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-110
            Project: JSPWiki
         Issue Type: Improvement
        Environment: n/a
           Reporter: Florian Holeczek
           Priority: Minor

Versioning and viewing the history is limited to one single page. If you want 
to see the whole wiki state as of timestamp X, you have to manually open the 
corresponding history entry of each page. Therefore, a time machine may be an 
interesting feature.
