I meant it is trivial for a user to make his own snapshot copy of a
file/directory at any state if he thinks he is going to have some need
to diff against that particular state later without server-side
support. That has nothing to do with coding or patching anything.
It just requires an assumption of plenty of local disk space to stash
things (which seems to have already been made).
