> There are two parts of programs in TimeBrowse, one is Nautilus Extension

> The other is a daemon process which watches NILFS volumes.
>
> The extension scans mtab and find active NILFS volume and snapshot mounts.

> mounts of the volume. If there are snapshot mounts, find the specified
> file and list the history of the file based on different modified time.
>
> The daemon scans checkpoints at interval of short period.
> When new checkpoints are created, it turns checkpoints to snapshots
> and mounts the snapshots to specified directory automatically.

Great!
This sounds like giving what the current our project is lacking.
The followings are comments that I noticed for the moment:
- There is a name mismatch between nilfs2_ss.conf and nilfs_ss.conf;
nilfs2_ss_manager wanted nilfs_ss.conf as its default configuration file,
but nilfs2_ss.conf is provided in the package.
I personally think "nilfs" is preferable to "nilfs2" whenever it actually
doesn't depend on the filesystem version such as mount or disk utilities.
- The following error happened when I ran the snapshot manager.
My python version is 2.7.1+ and yaml version is 3.09
$ sudo ./nilfs2_ss_manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./nilfs2_ss_manager", line 141, in <module>

in "/etc/nilfs_ss.conf", line 14, column 1
- I cloned the following git tree instead of downloading the tar ball.
git://timebrowse.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/timebrowse/timebrowse
It works fine, but looks git tag is missing. It's helpful to mark
the commit on which you made a release.
$ git tag -a v0.1
