 in a simple, transparent way. I wanted to avoid storing version information in binary blobs, which are completely
 incomprehensible to the user. I strongly believed that the user should not be locked into a versioning scheme that
 prevented trivial migration or export of data. As such, versioned file data is stored in timestamped directories on a
-host file system (with minimal metadata stored in a human-readable format).

 Each version consists of a root node and child nodes that represent modified files or directories for that version;
 unmodified data is not duplicated between versions. Other information (such as records about file and directory
 deletions) are stored in a JSON file next to the version root. Although VFS provides a mechanism for enumerating and
 mounting specific snapshots, the user is capable of browsing the version data directly if they choose to do so.

+Furthermore, the fact that Golang programs are statically linked ensures that binaries will be compatible between

 Hopefully this brief walkthrough of the system helped illustrate the basic concepts behind how VFS works. At its core,
 it is a fundamentally simple system, the workings of which can be examined with any file browser and text editor. I
 encourage those interested in this utility to follow this walkthrough and to ask me any questions they may have.

+## Limitations ##
+
+There are a few lingering limitations of the system in its current state. While the architecture supports their
+inclusion into a future version, I have not yet gotten around to taking care of this "laundry list" of items:
+
+*   Add support for file linking
+*   Further reduce data duplication when:
+    +   File is renamed
+    +   File attributes are modified
+*   Compress shadowed files
+*   Support for Mac OS X
