I'm not really knowledgable on this, but wouldn't the removal of
the whiteout imply the restoration of the file? I was under the
impression that removing a file from the underlying readonly FS
was what causes the creation of the whiteout? Wouldn't it follow
that the undelete call does the reverse?
If I'm way off, ignore me.. :-)
