Abstract
Techniques are provided for managing versions of files in a file system. According to one technique, new versions of directories are created in response to creation of new versions of files that descend from the directories, where the different versions of a versioned directory are associated with different points in time. Links are maintained between the files in the file system such that the versions of the files that descend from a particular version of a versioned directory reflect the point in time associated with the versioned directory.
