[Feature] Get version of files before they were edited

[justanotheranonymoususer]

Is this feature missing in the latest version?

• I'm using the latest release

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I need a CI that makes sure a change is correct, so if a file was edited, i need the old ver. There is already recover_deleted_files, but I need something like recover_modified_files. The feature is the same, just need not limit it to deleted.

Describe the solution you'd like?

recover_modified_files?

Describe alternatives you've considered?

Hi @justanotheranonymoususer this seems like one off use case for now I’ll suggest utilizing a script that you can use to recover modified files.

We can revisit this in the future if it does become a general problem.

Isn't recover_deleted_files also a one-off problem then?
Basically I don't agree, I think it has many use cases, and it's a bummer to write a non-trivial script (with fetch and whatnot) for something you guys already worked on to implement correctly, all's needed is to not limit it to deleted files.

Basically all that's needed is to control this:

changed-files/src/main.ts

Line 159 in 35d5a4d

deletedFiles: allDiffFiles[ChangeTypeEnum.Deleted],

To be able to also pass 'M'
