+Ruby script for interactively restoring files from a Puppet client's clientbucket.
+
+If you've accidently overwritten, with Puppet, a file you meant to keep, then this script can get it back.
+The real filebucket stuff provided by Puppetlabs requires the md5 of the old file you want to restore. This
+script goes and looks for all the available versions of a file, and allows you to diff, view, or restore one
+or more of these older versions.
+
+Run the script like this:
+
+clientbucket.rb /path/to/file
+
+Where /path/to/file is the file on the system that you're looking for old versions of.
