I couldn't find a way, is there any? I know this is not what you want, but as a partial solution, timebrowse (http://timebrowse.sourceforge.net/) can restore the files or directories of NILFS2 checkpoints from nautilus interface. Of course, this will merely rsync from the checkpoint to current mount point. Therefore all the history still remain in the log and it may take unreasonable time if the differences are big. thanks, regards, > If not, I'd like to request such functionality.
