The file system by default will update historical information of a file 
upon every sync. You can list the prior versions of any file with 
'hammer history <file>'. These are the versions that could be accessed 
by appending @@0x<id>. Pruning will free this space again.

But as Matt notes, snapshots are the common way of accessing historical 
data. I've updated hammer(5) to be a bit more clear about this. If you 
still feel it's unclear, please let me know.
