Is there such a thing as a versioning file system for Linux; something like
VAX/VMS had? (For those not familiar, VAX/VMS files had a version number
appended to the end. When you first created a file, it was "foo.txt;1". Each
time you saved it, a new copy was created with an incremented suffix:
"foo.txt;2", "foo.txt;3", etc.. Periodically, you needed to run a purge command
to clean out all the old copies.)
