Deep among the .sage/sage_notebook.sagenb subdirectories is a worksheet 
subdirectory
that contains a subdirectory called "snapshots" that contains numerous *.bz2 
files.

I assume these are snapshots of the worksheet.
What causes their creation?
Do they contain a revision history?
If so, how do I examine a previous revision of the worksheet?
If there is not a way to look at the revision history, then why are they 
maintained?
Can I safely delete them?

Thank you,
Jim Clark
