+
+ (description "Emacs has a powerful undo system. Unlike the standard
+undo/redo system in most software, it allows you to recover *any* past state
+of a buffer (whereas the standard undo/redo system can lose past states as
+soon as you redo). However, this power comes at a price: many people find
Emacs'
+undo system confusing and difficult to use, spawning a number of packages that
+replace it with the less powerful but more intuitive undo/redo system.
+
+Both the loss of data with standard undo/redo, and the confusion of Emacs'
+undo, stem from trying to treat undo history as a linear sequence of changes.
+It's not. The `undo-tree-mode' provided by this package replaces Emacs' undo
+system with a system that treats undo history as what it is: a branching tree
+of changes. This simple idea allows the more intuitive behaviour of the
+standard undo/redo system to be combined with the power of never losing any
+history. An added side bonus is that undo history can in some cases be stored
+more efficiently, allowing more changes to accumulate before Emacs starts
+discarding history.")
