ANNOUNCE: TimeBrowse 0.1 released

Hi!

I'm pleased to announce the release of "TimeBrowse".
http://timebrowse.sourceforge.net/

TimeBrowse is a set of programs that enable Windows VSS like
view in Nautilus PropertyPage against NILFS snapshots.

There are two parts of programs in TimeBrowse, one is Nautilus Extension
to browse history of specific file in NILFS volume and snapshots.
The other is a daemon process which watches NILFS volumes.

The extension scans mtab and find active NILFS volume and snapshot mounts.
If the file is in the active NILFS volume, it tries to find the snapshot
mounts of the volume.  If there are snapshot mounts, find the specified
file and list the history of the file based on different modified time.

The daemon scans checkpoints at interval of short period.
When new checkpoints are created, it turns checkpoints to snapshots
and mounts the snapshots to specified directory automatically.

I'm thinking to make them communicate via dbus in future, like for removing
snapshots from property view.  However those programs are completely
independent from others so far, so you can use either one of them. 

This is still pre-alpha version.
It won't hurt your system but also may not so useful yet.

Any kind of feedbacks are welcome!

enjoy!
