Actually, openSUSE and SLE do this using btrfs. It's build into the zypper package manager and additionally has commandline (snapper) and GUI (in YaST) interfaces.

Based on btrfs, a timeslider in a gui filemanager would be possible too, I'm sure, either using btrfs directly or as GUI to snapper (but that'd be (open)SUSE specific unless other distro's pick up on snapper).

I did not know that about SUSE. Thanks.
