Bug Description

It would be nice if in addition to the History we could have the ability to define "versions" perhaps implemented as Checkpoints/Snapshots of the History stack. At checkpointing time the file is branched or copied as a separate file in the filesystem with appropriate naming/tagging to be able to process it later as a "version" of the original rather than an unrelated file. Another idea is to define a new file format which is an archive of all the versions together. Inkscape should load this extracting the latest version, and all versions could be exposed either via the History pane or a new Version Manager component. IMHO, this shouldn't be too complicated to implement and would perhaps be a good candidate for GSOC.
