Ah, yes I see now.  I also had a look at the code and see that I was 
misinterpreting the idea of snapshots before.  So basically snapshots are 
more closely associated with revisions of the control branch, hence instead 
of "restoring" a snapshot, you just checkout the project at (control branch) 
revision in which the snapshot was recorded and you get the project with all 
components at revisions specified in the snapshot (instead of their current 
tips), is that correct?
