I am trying to understand snapshots 🙂 I ran this command:

```auto
C:\Users\kopia>kopia snapshot delete --delete k1b27950f71813248078dcc0e8104e0e8
Deleting snapshot 8ad6ed0d3b4fd76d5abbfd5d05054cbf of kopia@mxp:c:\users\kopia at 2021-10-22 21:25:08 PDT...
Deleting snapshot 866357ec321fa66afe3bd9bf39c2d773 of kopia@mxp:c:\uSers\kopia at 2021-10-22 21:26:30 PDT...

```

Does anybody what those “5 snapshots” mean?

I naively expected this kind of output:

```auto
C:\Users\kopia>kopia snapshot delete --delete k1b27950f71813248078dcc0e8104e0e8
Deleting snapshot k1b27950f71813248078dcc0e8104e0e8

```
