Now I lost you ;) Resurrection is about bringing dead files back to live, so
it will always be invisible before resurrecting it, no?

That he can do already, without need for implementing something: Simply use
mtn cat and create a new file with old contents, poor mans copy. Works for
deleted and non-deleted files. That's not what we are talking about.
All three problems (resurrection, suturing, and copying) will need to
establish some sort of connection between node identities in the graph
(resurrection: 1->1, suturing: N->1, copying 1->N). We currently don't have
(a) a mechanism to achieve that and (b) only a small clue of what problems
will arise afterwards. Don't let us confuse and/or intermix these two steps.
