When thinking about it, this still wouldn't solve my problem. I've been making commits in git while non-timeline was running. In that case the history file would contain information that is needed to clean up unused sources. So for me it would be very useful if there would be an option to the non programs, that would just replay the journal, make a snapshot, and quit. Also, that would make it possible to use the remove-unused-sources script in all circumstances. But I can understand if you wouldn't care too much for this specific use case. greetings, lieven
