This is pretty cool. I'd love to see something on how the more advanced snapshot tool works from a technical standpoint.

Indeed very cool

Based on the author's comment [1] this is how the default mode works:

He also gives an brief description of the other modes here:

Another thing this may be useful for is to be able to snapshot and compare a product from version to version, without having to worry about setting up deployments and environments for older versions.
