Life gets interesting when multiple files with the same name have been
deleted, but maybe you don't care about that (I would).

Not so interesting.  The function to list the entries reports multiple
files with the same name.

... and how do you pick which one you're undeleting?
I mean, I know how to do this at the RPC layer - you just undelete by FID. But what is the UI going to look like?

Anybody remember VMS? When you replaced a file, it kept the old version around. If you didn't specify which version of a file you wanted, it would default to the current version, but you could just as easily specify the one, say, five versions back. I think you had some control over how many versions of a given file it would keep for you. "Deleting" a file just meant you didn't want to see version 0 anymore. I think DEC sold a lot of storage because of this...

I don't remember what this looked like exactly, but I do remember the UI was so overwhelmingly upper-case that I didn't care for it at all.

[BTW, two prominent Jeffreys and a Derek/Derrick pair -- I need pictures to keep you guys straight.]
