This is not a file system I would be interested in. If you’ve ever snooped in on fs activity it is constant and overwhelming on even an average system. IDEs can have undo, vi and emacs have undo. As others in the thread have said, just use multiple files.
Personally I’d be interested in a shell having undo capability, but not a file system.

I'm not sure how these sentences are connected. Are you implying that allowing undo would make those problems significantly worse? I'm not sure of that. If you have a CoW filesystem, which you probably want for other reasons, then having a continuous snapshot mode for recent activity would not need much overhead.
If you're saying there's too much activity to allow an undo, well, I assume the undo would be scoped to specific files or directories!
