As deep as your memory. It just sits there and eat all memory if you
let it.

Sure, files that really got deleted are gone, and the undo feature
cannot help you there.
Other than that, I guess changing attributes or permissions is probably
not tracked, as it doesn't go through the normal FS-engine.

Undo/redo feels a bit insane in a file manager IMO, but it might be
helpful from time to time :-)
It's just not that visible because there just is no space left in the
menu. Reorganizing that menu didn't receive much love when I tried it
the last time (though I didn't push hard).
