Hi,
When I used VMWare workstation many years ago, one of the features I
couldn't
live without was the layered snapshots. When testing it was extremely
productive to have multiple branches of snapshots of the VM and I could
revert to any point.
I agree. The "snapshots" should be a tree and not a
stack. When you "review" a snapshot, you should be able to choose, in addition
to 'commit' (forget all the newer ones) and 'undo', also something like
'branch' (just keep everything).
Note that this is partially possible today by cloning a snapshot (to a VM) but imo is much
less comfortable.
