Hi!
I made two small utils:
history2git15will read a.root.historyfile to make a git repository with each commit representing a tree generation. This doesn't include the whole files, but only the tree hierarchy (indoctreefile) and the cache (intreefile). This allows to view what files have changed between 2 generations.relinkfile15is able to reinsert in the root index a file referenced in a previous root index.I made some crappy modifications in the library to be able to expose some functions. Please let me know if you see better implementation alternatives.
This is also possible to ignore and close this PR: the problem I faced should not be recurrent and those tools will stay in a branch in case of a future need.
