Frankly, I don’t like it. I think the default behavior should not be to
let the user shoot themself in the foot.
WDYT?
OK, what about these patches? Can I push them?

Oh. I’d prefer if it would delete all generations but the current one.
That’s a fairly useful pattern: suppose you want to make space on your
disk (and you know you won’t need to roll back), it’d be handy to run:

Can I push this patch to ‘master’? Do you see any problems?
Looks good! Minor issues discussed below.
I had noticed that ‘--roll-back’ doesn’t output anything with
‘--dry-run’, so I implemented ‘--delete-generations’ similarly. Maybe
