How often do you roll back? Or better, how far back do you roll? (<--
these are rhetorical :) )
I have to admit that I haven't had to roll back yet, but I image that
I wouldn't roll back farther than to one of the last few states.
Therefore, I'd be comfortable to manually delete all state-folders but
the last few newest ones every few months (if I need space).
