I'll figure out the kind of tests I want to run sometime soon. |

It is really tempting to support macOS like tup does, although SIP and the restored snapshot on boot kind of makes it unnecessary. And also the idea of using a newly created FS to see changes is interesting. |

A new GLEP to systematically delete extraneous files could be to restore a non-user generated snapshot on boot just like iOS/macOS, but the problem is that we don't always use the same filesystem or mount configurations. Another way would be to use xattr but again the issue is compatibility. |
