See undo(1) under the 'DIAGNOSTICS' section:
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=undo&section=ANY

   Warning: fake transaction id 0x...  While locating past versions of the
     file, undo came across a fake transaction id, which are automatically
     generated by hammer(5) in case the file's directory entry and inode got
     bisected in the past.

Matt, could we just silence this warning, if it isn't important any
more ? This has been a recurring source of confusion.

Best regards,
