I may not be understanding your usage case correctly, so bear with me.
Here is what I understand your request to be. Time is increasing from
left to right.
A -- B -- C -- D -- E
\
----- F -- G
Where E and G are writable filesystems and the others are snapshots.
I think you're saying that you want to, for example, keep G and roll E
back to A, keeping A, B, F, and G.
If that's correct, I think you can just clone A (getting H), promote H,
then delete C, D, and E. That would leave you with:
A -- H
\
-- B -- F -- G
Is that anything at all like what you're after?
