Wait - vim undo is a tree? So I can get back the revisions that I lost by undoing the last 100 operations and then carelessly inserting a character? HOW?

Wow! It is? I had no idea!

From the looks of it this script might be a helpful way to use the feature.

And the next chapter of undo.txt tells you about saving undo history.
