Lastly surely someone has implemented a trash folder mechanism

maybe something like:

You don't have a handy solution for the lack of file version
numbering as well?
That's something I'd love to see in ext4 or UFS3!

Snapshots?
Isn't a snapshot a filesystem wide thing? Sounds to complicated
for file-level versioning without something on top of it like the
new Apple Time Machine business
I agree it would be nice to have file versioning in the FS like
VMS does.
Chad
Yeah, snapshots are FS-wide.
If you make one once a day it's almost the same as a FS VMS feature.
No, VM creates a new version of a file for each edit. So you would
have to create a snapshot after each edit, so you only get 20 edits.
And using the versioned files is not easy or intuitive since you have
to play around with a new "FS" for each one, the snapshot.

You can have a total of 20 snapshots, so that's 20 days...
Snapshots really aren't that complicated, take a look at the
handbook entry:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
snapshots.html
Basicly it's just:
# mknap_ffs /usr 20060812
And you have a snapshot of /usr named 20060812
Also, there's a port which offers some usefull scripts
sysutils/freebsd-snapshot
