posting prior versions

The post command is the first command to work in past time, though the copy is always created at current system clock time.

You can use post to restore an earlier version of an item, but its really not designed for that. The problem is that post does a deep copy, so it is probably too powerful. This creates problems particularly when a subordinate item is also under another item. You can easily end up with two copies of that subordinate item, rather than having one item in two places.

Guess we need a restore command that will restore only the current item, without effecting subordinate items. Meanwhile, have fun posting!
