I didn't look into versioning filesystems, but a simple solution would be
to put your working directory/$HOME in git and run the relevant add/commit
commands from time to time, maybe even from cron. That would give you not
only versioned files, but other neat things like atomic commit ($DIRECTORY
in it's entirety as of $DATE), branches ...
Kind regards,

These days we have filesystems built on Subversion and other
transactional systems, ZFS, etc, ad nauseam. A few years ago I
looked up every paper and such that I could find about versioning
file systems. I am sure there is much more today...

I did a quick search last night, but I wasn't able to find any
(recent) versioning filesystems that are beyond the
experimental/research stage. Are there any specific ones you know
of that you'd trust your data to?
